#ESPIONAGE FOR MAC CREAKED CODE#
During World War II, the Government Code and Cypher School placed a letter in the Daily Telegraph, challenging readers to solve a crossword puzzle in under 12 minutes. This isn't the first time a British intelligence agency has used a public puzzle to recruit new code-breakers. In an attempt to make the UK "one of the most secure places in the world to do business" - according to minister Francis Maude - the agency will market some of its security technologies to private businesses before the end of the year. The GCHQ is also being called in to help with growing cybersecurity fears in Britain. The report said that the committee is "concerned about GCHQ's inability to retain a suitable cadre of internet specialists to respond to threats." In response, the government said that it is "taking a number of proactive steps to address the issue." The game may be related to the government's October 2011 response to the intelligence and security committee's annual report.
