The linked KTVU article documents an a “Hackathon” event intended to provide veterans a conduit between their military service and entry into the technology field. Despite its somewhat nefarious name, the event did not involve assisting veterans hack into bank computers or steal folk’s private identity information (PII). Instead, Vets In Tech events are intended to raise the profile of veterans who wish to pursue careers in the technology field.
