£10,000 Prize for Linux Virus Challenge Re-Issued

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the take-two dept.

mutantcamel writes "Eddie Bleasdale, the director of NetProject has been offering £10,000 to the first hacker to infect his Linux machine with a virus for the last two years, and so far no one has hit the jackpot. He's re-announced his challenge to virus writers following a Gartner report which told IT depts. not to trust MS server software because of recent worm attacks on their servers, but a Microsoft exec said yesterday that the hugely successful worm attacks were due to 'tardy' sysadmins."

    only I don't know which part of what I wrote resembled some Tom Clancy quote. I wrote my comment without assistance or plagarizing, because my thoughts are my own.
