    There's a big difference between hiring a hacker to do a specific job,
    and hiring someone then finding out he's hacking. I guess it also
    depends on whether you are defining a 'hacker' as a criminal hacker or
    expanding it to include professionals. Based on what I read at the URL
    you provided, I would be very surprised if Intel hired a rogue criminal
    hacker to test their security, but I can certainly see companies like
    Intel hiring professional white-hat hackers or possibly x-"hackers" who
    have learned their lesson to do the job.
