Hackers Fail To Win OpenHack Contest

from the what-sort-of-hackers-were-they? dept

This is amusing, because just this morning there were all these news articles about all the problems computer systems were having with security, and there were quotes from plenty of hackers claiming that any system is vulnerable.
