Stephen Miller is the reigning UK cyber security champion . The US government has been accused of using a secret court to force tech companies into handing over user data in order to access encrypted communications. Cybercrime has grown exponentially in scale and sophistication in recent years . Cybercrime is backed by a highly organized black market and is worth billions of dollars . I always saw it as more of a hobby , or a source of intellectual challenges , but never a genuine job possibility with the potential to progress upwards within a business or organization . Cyber security is often regarded as hobby for young people rather than `` genuine '' career .
