“Britain may recruit convicted computer hackers to a new military unit dedicated to combatting cyber-attacks, Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said. ‘As a matter of policy the armed forces don’t necessarily exclude people who have criminal convictions. Each individual case would be looked at on its merits,’ Hammond told BBC television late Monday. ‘The conviction would be examined in terms of how long ago it was, how serious it was, what sort of sentence had followed. So I can’t rule it out.’ Lieutenant Colonel Michael White told the same programme: ‘We’re looking at capability development, rather than setting hard and fast rules about individual personality traits.'”
