Cyberwar

The latest tech stuff kind of goes right over my head but I am told there are a lot of young people who play around on their computers and tend to get in trouble. Is it possible that these youngsters could be recruited to fight the digital wars of the future. Would it be a good investment in national security to make cash awards to anyone who could attack and destroy the programs of hackers. How about telling that teen who sits at home in the basement that he/she could earn a handsome reward simply by busting up something like Ransomwear. Pick up a quick college scholarship or some cash. This would have the added benefit of training future cyber warriors.
