    Smile Microsoft deny Devsta was defaced by crackers.

    Microsoft deny Devsta was defaced by crackers.

    Microsoft has denied that their Web site for the DevSta coding competition was defaced by hackers, stating that some entries were simply "non-genuine submissions." Given the trite nature of the vandalism it's easy to believe what Microsoft's say. The pictures I included show what amount to nothing more than rubbish postings in a user-submitted area of the site, specifically, the contest submissions.

    I saw this on slashdot. I kind of wondered if it wasn't just someone posting nonesense, as opposed to an actually defacement. I only glanced at the article/forum, but from what I remember, they theorized that it was some sort of SQL injection. It looked like some idiot just kept posting the same thing over and over.
