Overview
Security is HackForums.net newest official group, acquired by Divined and is under his management. There are several sectors of the Security Team, these  include the the malware analysis sector and the the coders sector. Security will act as a hub for experts in these fields to offer formal lessons to members to enhance their knowledge and equip them with the tools to contribute positively to the members of HackForums and the wider web for both unpaid and paid services. We also act as the home and  development arena for our original monthly security magazine Authenticate pioneered by The Worker and AsSaSs@iN.

Position applying for:

Crypto Currency Reporter

What expertise do you offer for this position?

I have been trading and investing in cryptocurrencies for about 8 months now. Before these months I had been watching the market for a couple months, which basically means I was learning when to buy and when to sell cryptos.

Besides the technical reasons I really like reading about cryptocurrencies daily. I also have worked as a reporter before at a small paper that was being sold at my university (not crypto related).

Why do you want to join?

I want to join Security because I believe I am in possession of the skills that are necessary to fill this position and because I like to read/write about cryptocurrency.

Would you be ready to rewrite the whole article if we think it doesn't meet the standard?

If the person that thinks my article doesn't meet the standard is actually active in the crypto world and provides some reasoning behind his/her decision then it would not be a problem at all.
I had applied to the other thread as well, however, I'm not sure whether I was declined or not so I decided to apply to this thread just to be sure.

Best of luck to everyone who applies! The Authenticate Magazine is an amazing project.

[Nuworld]

It would be very wise to apply.
Not your normal group.
Very active and there is much to learn within this group.

Best of luck to all that apply.
