What's not to love? I guess they haven't heard that there are trolls on the internet. I expect to see hundreds of people clicking on "suspicious" actions to the tune of several thousand SMS messages in an attempt to win the prize. They will be noise compared to the dozen people competing to see how low their points can get by clicking thousands of times each. -- gdfuego _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
