Hi...

Just a reminder that you should back up your websites and make sure
you've installed all the security updates before this weekend as
there's a competition running in the US which offers a prize for
defacing web sites (and extra points for defacing Mac web sites :(
one Mac web site is worth 5 Windows ones!)



What is up with this? I hope it's a joke.

How is it if it's a competition, it's legal to deface sites?

Heck I'll organise a "knock a car" day -- hit as many cars as you can 
(up to 6000 cars maximum), extra points if the car is made by GM.

Heh. I have an obscure blog I'm playing with nested deep within my iDisk. My
last entry was to post a challenge to contest entrants.

I think I'm pretty safe.

Hi...

Just a reminder that you should back up your websites and make sure

But of course your web pages are already backed up and all security 
updates applied, right?


And even if it is a hoax, it's a good reminder :)

Have fun,
Shay
