ETHICAL HACKERS PRAISED FOR THEIR INNOVATIVE IDEAS TO OVERCOME COVID-19

Cyber geniuses have been praised for their interventions during the coronavirus outbreak. A self-taught coder based in South Korea was the brains behind Coronamap.site, which has been tracking the spread of infections since January. It seems the tech giants are sitting up and taking notice too, as they are now developing their own contact-tracing software for smartphones to determine where people may have picked up the virus. These civic hackers or “good guys” are instrumental in helping to identify where more resources are needed, such as face masks.
