sometimes the hacker will leave contact info so the admin can contact them to find out how they did and then fix it

Well anyways, there is nothing to worry about as far as i know...this site is only know to people in high school....and Turing...well is a language thats not used by "MANY" people. Sites like....well there are so many sites, all the big companys can get hacked. But don't they have to hack certain web sites given to them?

this whole thing is sooo fucking stupid. It was on a site (hacking site with heavy traffic) and they posted to the competition. The site was shut down last wednesday in an effort to avoid widespread knowledge of this potentionally dangerous (for e-business) contest. So the asshole media (CNN) decides to cover this and includes ALL the contest details. So now they just got even more publicity. CNN Execs = AOL Users = Smacktards.

math doesn't lie Laughing

i dont think many poleop who have the skill to hack lager sites whould do this contest bc it whould be stuided. if you hack the site and put your info there you are overusley going to get cougth. plus i dont think it is psoaible to hack that many big sites in that time limite unless sub sites count like if you hacked in to geo-citys and then toke over all hosted sites.
