The UK secretly built an army of hundreds of young hackers in 2001 with diverse backgrounds, some of whom committed minor network crimes.
The UK government established network security offices to coordinate security works in government and non-government departments.
The former Defense Secretary Philip Hammond announced they plan to hire hundreds of computer specialists as cyber reserves to work with the regular army to protect crucial data and networks in Sept, 2013.
UK Joint Forces Command requires the government to invest two billion pounds in five years and hire 300 hackers to be able to intrude into other countries' network when necessary.
