Hackers compete to deface sites
 
 
Data could go missing this weekend
Security experts are playing down the likely effect of a hacking contest due to take place on Sunday.
The 6 July contest aims to see 6,000 websites defaced in six hours and will award points to hackers for the types of sites they manage to vandalise.

The US Department of Homeland Security said there was no need to put out a public warning about the competition but said all companies should be vigilant.

Security firm Ubizen said the contest was being overblown and was unlikely to cause serious disruption.


Hacking contests occur all the time and typically goad computer vandals into stealing or destroying data, defacing websites or launching remote attacks on other sites.

I  doubt the hackers will actually destroy any data, just gain entry collect their points then leave.

Erm... yah.  Hackers do it to prove a point and then reinstate status after a couple of hours.  No big deal.
