Hack a Mac, get $10,000

Originally a successful hack would be rewarded with the MacBook. There had been some rumblings among event attendees that the reward was not big enough to draw interest. To qualify for the $10,000 a successful attack has to be carried out with a new, yet-to-be-patched vulnerability, a TippingPoint representative at CanSecWest said.

Even $10,000 isn’t a huge prize in the large scheme of things, considering how much time hacks could take to complete. Still, this will be an interesting competition to keep an eye on.
