 |

A £5,000 prize was still up for grabs on Thursday afternoon, after no-one managed to crack into VIA Technologies' new StrongBox system. But all could change by the weekend.
VIA has offered the prize to anyone who can successfully break into a system using VIA StrongBox software and PadLock hardware, which is meant to protect against identity theft and the physical loss of data.
VIA StrongBox was launched this week at the 'Hack in the Box' security conference in Kuala Lumpur, where it is being attacked by hackers and security professionals. StrongBox is designed to offer the same level of security for laptops as the company's PadLock hardware which it claims is "unbreakable".
