[ale] hack challenge for electronic boting system

[Jonathan Glass]

It would be interesting to see if there is any affiliation b/w this 
woman and the company giving her the challenge.  Does the ompany provide 
any financial support for any of her causes?  Are the two of them best 
of friends?  Do they serve on any boards together?  Not to be a 
conspiracy theorist here, but why would this co. choose to let THIS 
person audit/attack their product?

My paranoid $0.02.
