Tech & Science Daily: Why are hackers flooding Miami?

Miami Hack Week kicks off today inviting the best hackers in the US to put new tech through its paces, work on special projects, and try to impress their way into a job at a US tech firm.

Around 1,000 attendees are expected at the event, where they’ll stay in luxury mansions and take part in a slew of events this week.

Tech & Science Daily spoke to event organiser J’adan Johnson who says these days hacking has a more ‘positive image’ in the tech world.

They say the technology will not only revolutionise the lives of people using them but could also save the NHS time and money.
