Hi everyone! Using this information below answer these questions in a few paragraphs.

Carnegie Mellon University's competitive computer security team, The Plaid Parliament of Pwning, won its third title in four years at the DefCon Capture the Flag competition.

The DefCon Capture the Flag competition, widely considered the "World Series of Hacking," was held Aug. 7-9 in Las Vegas. The win comes on the heels of CMU spinoff ForAllSecure's win at the DARPA Cyber Grand Challenge just days earlier.

Capture the Flag (CTF) is one of the most popular competitive hacking games in the world, with hundreds of smaller CTFs being held annually. During these competitions, teams try to break into competitors' servers while protecting their own. After achieving a successful breach, teams catch virtual "flags" and earn points

Carnegie Mellon's win comes at a time when the computer security field is struggling to find suitable hires to join the workforce. These contests give people a place to practice and hone their computer security skills.

(The contestants are trying to break into each others servers. They are not hacking companies unknowingly). The person who answered this question last time thought the hackers were hacking real companies illegally.
