Re: Possible FLR Hacking?

I don't believe that any of the teams have any reason to cheat, though there still may be some out there that might want to try. My original thoughts were that some students might want to hack for fun. You know, we're all geeks here, that's entirely possible. After all I've read, I still believe it's possible, but I no longer think that it has any likelihood of having occurred at FLR.

It's probably worth mentioning that I wrote the original post at 1 AM and my judgment wasn't the greatest, and I do regret parts of it, but I am unable to edit the post, so I guess what happens happens. It might also be worth mentioning that I was nearly barred from going to competitions with my team and am not currently on good terms with some people because of that post, but I felt I was doing the right thing by bringing hacking up as a possibility in the competitions.

All I wanted was to gather opinions and maybe get someone looking into what might be breachable in the system, and that's exactly what happened. There is also the unfortunate outcome of people who misunderstood my post, or understood it in the incorrect way that I wrote it. I'll admit I'm at fault for not waiting until I was awake enough to make proper sense.

Hopefully someone will read through the whole forum before accusing me of accusing someone of cheating next time, and hopefully my team will understand what I was trying to do.
