SOLUTION
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
with some delay we did the drawing for the winner from our "Hack the Key"
contest.
The iPhone will go to Germany, more precisely to 8068 Munich. The winner will
become contacted directly from us.
About the contest we can tell you for sure, that the solution wasn't easy, in
contrast we used all possibilities to make the key real safe. During the
contest there was only one person who has known the key and this person tested
the key every day.
As we estimated no one cracked the key. But the possibility that someone would
be able to find as minimum a right formal solution which fits to the 333 pages
(but not to other ones) wasn't eliminated and predictable. But this also did
not happen.
In future we will do more contests to give all experts a chance to become
acquainted with SecLookOn from the point of view a hacker could have.
Obliviously we didn't connect the download together with the publication of
personal data to win the price. So everyone was able to look into the
information and choose, after recognize the quest to participate on the
competition. But vice versa the participation on the contest wasn't connected
to the presentation of a solution. So we aren't able to tell exactly how many
people looked into the information's. However we can identify some information
according the accesses to the contest home page:
MERLINnovations registered starting from August 8th (Contest starting) till
October 10th (Contest ends):
- 3636 Visits on our page,
with
- 1991 Visits on the contest information page,
where
- 1211 document where downloaded
and
- 139 persons left there details to participate on the contest,
with
- 12 submitted solutions.
Not any solution included the right key. Not any solution was in form and
content right to the 333 released pages.
