July 6th - Website Defacement Day?

Posted by simoniker on from the season-of-mass-stupidity dept.

pabl0 writes "According to an article from SFGate.com (San Francisco Chronicle), a challenge has been posted, inviting web-site defacers to alter the content of as many web sites as possible on July 6th, with an apparent limit of 6,000 websites per contestant. Looks like this would be a good time to make sure all those web-server security patches are applied!"

    Slashdot has little to do with the defacement. Slashdot is simply reporting this.

    Heh, that reminds me of 2600, which would publish things like "You can hack into this store's computer by sneaking into the back stockroom and entering this on the computer.", then insist that they weren't encouraging illegal activity, merely saying what COULD be done.
