CNN.com – Web hacking contest claims ‘no big names’: I wasn’t sick with worry, but I will admit to upgrading this site to Movable Type 2.64 (there’s a security hole in prior versions), dumping the database, and backing up all the files on Saturday.
“Computer hackers vying in a global contest on Sunday defaced a slew of Web sites, but the damage was confined to the Internet’s backwater of small, unsecured sites, security officials said.”
