Apple OS X withstands hacking contest

Posted in: Mac OS X, Security

Tom Sanders writes: "The University of Wisconsin has ended its OS X hacking contest with no successful hacking attempts. Dave Schroeder, the competition's organiser and a systems administrator at the university, launched the challenge in response to a similar competition last month in which a blogger created user accounts for contestants on a Mac Mini and challenged them to hack into the system by defacing a website."
