It was a boring day at work. Granted she was working hard, but the security issues most companies have were really just too easy to get around. Hacking into the Kermlin or the WHO servers was by far more challenging. But today she was working some mundane corporation. Katya didn't even fully understand what they did, she just knew they had installed new security protocols and she was to attempt to bypass them. It's not that she couldn't get past them, but there were certain levels of security that companies paid for. Places like banks required heavy security. And those were hard to crack. Government agencies were even harder, but the everday companies, they couldn't necessarily aford that level of security, much less afford the hacker to test their security.
Katya's boss' philosphy was to ensure that the company under contract had at least one level above what was required for their payments, except for of course the highest level of protection, which meant that it should be hacker proof with current technology. It was hard to see what would come out in the future. Hell they even had a department of hackers whose sole job was to think of new ways to hack - call it R&D he said.
So on this uneventful day of typing away at the prompt trying to get around security protocols that were pretty mundane, Katya had open the darknet open and was skimming through items that caught her attention. Being what they called a white hat made patrolling the darknet dangerous for her collegues out in the world. But Katya was not a rat and that left her standing decently in that underworld of technology.
So many projects out there that could be fun. But there was never any reason to contact them. Her boss said things like that were a conflict of interest. So she stayed away. He was after all paying the bills.
An interesting message popped up:
Clearly this person was not overly knowledagble about the darknet, probably stumbled upon it from some stupid kid. Playing with some new fangled toy.
Katya replied back. She probably wouldn't help but it would be fun to make a jab at such a newbie.
Hacking government systems is illegal. *smart ass grin*
Katya giggled as she sent the message. What was interesting about the whole thing was the request was from someone locally. And since they were a newb it was pretty probably that they really were local and not some hack bouncing things everywhere first.
Now only to wait and see the response.

Hopefully this works. I'm looking for someone to integrate a wallet and a government issue set of goggles. Pay isn't great to start with, but if it turns out great you can have all the credit and the patents etc. As well as sell it to another bidder. My uses are private and I don't care what ya'll do wit it later.
