The first hacker to gain access to a server run by Korea Digital Works and leave their name on the site's front page this week will find it an enriching experience A Korean company is offering $100,000 (£70,000) in a 48-hour hacking competition, to be run this week.
Korea Digital Works (KDWorks) will launch the competition, which will involve gaining root access to a server, on Tuesday 16 April at 11am Korean Standard Time (2am GMT) at the Munhwa Daily Newspaper.
The competition is aimed at demonstrating the resilience of KDWorks' World OK Security (WOKS) solution, according to Justin Kim, an attorney with US-based Mike Choi International Consulting, who is helping to promote the event. "The company is a small enterprise but their product is outstanding," said Kim. "We found the company is not internationally recognised, so we decided to run the competition."
