News: $100K hacking contest ends in free-for-all
by Decius at 10:34 am EDT, Jun 4, 2002

"...a hacking competition that promised a first prize of $100,000 and which now seems to be losing its luster after hackers compromised the server that held registration details. The result is that what should have been a straightforward competition has turned into a convoluted tale of hackers attacking the wrong systems and organizers using a dubious server set-up in the first place. "

What I find most interesting about this is the suggestion that the people running this contest were using it to collect personal information about key hackers.
