False Start For Cyber Security Challenge UK

An anonymous reader writes "Netcraft writes about an ironic 'false start' for the Cyber Security Challenge UK website. The new venture touts itself as 'a programme of national challenges, designed by experts, to identify and nurture the UK's future cyber security workforce.' Unfortunately, the website appears to be vulnerable to a basic cross-site scripting vulnerability which was easily found by some Twitter users."

Oops, yes, I'd forgotten exactly what they did wrong, but nevertheless everyone outside the UK basically agrees these rankings are self aggrandizing bullshit.

A more honest ranking was done by Shanghai Jiao Tong University. In fact, the Shanghai rankings are still extremely based towards English speaking universities, although less blatantly biased towards British institutions. In all seriousness, the University of Sheffield simply does not belong in the top 100 for any world university rankings. lol
