Thus, by using modern technology and gaming, they aim to bring fresh minds into the field of cybersecurity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Introducing the \u201cDogs of BND\u201d NFT collection, featuring 999 dog-themed profile pictures in cybersecurity gear. But these NFTs won\u2019t be sold; they must be earned through a cyber quest that tests the skills sought by the German intelligence agency.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Quest_For_New_Talent_to_Improve_Cybersecurity\"><b>Quest For New Talent to Improve Cybersecurity\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, let\u2019s uncover the secrets of the Cyber Quest. Participants embark on a challenge mirroring real-life cybersecurity scenarios. Their mission? Locate clues like wallet addresses, transaction hashes, blocks, or token numbers. After finishing the quest, the code grants access to the sought after collection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moreover, the cost to mint an NFT from the \u201cDogs of BND\u201d collection is less than 1 cent (not including gas fees). However, their value increases in the secondary marketplace, with a floor price of 0.015 ETH on OpenSea. Only 987 out of the 999 NFTs are available through the treasure hunt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Consequently, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bnd.bund.de\/EN\/Home\/home_node.html;jsessionid=D1C7E51C43E87A9534FA1F77BBB18BFC.internet992\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BND<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is after young, blockchain-savvy talent to combat cybercrime and improve cybersecurity. The treasure hunt, as reported by the German cryptocurrency publication BTC Echo, serves as a unique way to attract such individuals. In addition, to reach its desired audience, BND recognises the power of social media, using its Instagram to engage people interested in NFTs. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BND recognises the need to address cybersecurity threats that come with the increased popularity of blockchain and NFTs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe data-test-id=\"beehiiv-embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"border-radius: 4px; border: 2px solid #e5e7eb; margin: 0; background-color: transparent;\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/embeds.beehiiv.com\/37fed65e-f01c-4c4c-b8f1-1b71da0be0a4\"><\/iframe><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/embeds.beehiiv.com\/37fed65e-f01c-4c4c-b8f1-1b71da0be0a4\" data-test-id=\"beehiiv-embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"border-radius: 4px; border: 2px solid #e5e7eb; margin: 0; background-color: transparent;\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<div class=\"bottom-text__wrapper post-content\">\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em>All investment\/financial opinions expressed by NFTevening.com are not recommendations.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This article is educational material.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As always, make your own research prior to making any kind of investment.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/join-the-cyber-quest-german-intelligence-agency-drops-nfts-to-find-new-talent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover how Germany\u2019s BND Intelligence Agency uses an NFT collection and a crypto quest to attract fresh talent to cybersecurity.
