The state should attract hackers to work for it as these people have unique brains. This is what Prime Minister Boyko Borissov said commenting the arrest of a 20-year-old man, suspected of conducting a cyber-attack against the National Revenue Agency. "We have real wizards here. They are very young and skillful. Yesterday we detained one of them. It is very important for such children to have the opportunity to work for the services and the state, in order not to inflict such damages, forcing us to press charges against them. We should attract them to work for the benefit of the state," he said. The Prime Minister also pointed out that he praised the Interior Ministry and the Directorate General for Combating Organized Crime for the work done on revealing the criminal act.
