Hacker Tracker Victim of Challenge

Sunday July 6, 2003
In an ironic twist, zone-h.org, the hack-tracking site which would have served as a sort of virtual scorecard for the July 6th Hackers Challenge, was subjected to a DDoS attack of sorts as curious onlookers jammed the superhighway to their servers. Though otherwise uneventful - only small sites with poor security seemed to be vandalized, with the designated reporting site unable to provide tracking it's doubtful the real success or failure of the contest can be known.
