This press release has been making the rounds and appears to have come out of nowhere. The company's Web site is simply the press release and a phone number. I have never heard of the "open challenge to hackers" the company allegedly made, but maybe I missed something.
Sounds like snake oil to me - they rubbish all the well known algorithms, so it's probably some simple home grown xor cypher they've made. We can't see as the website just has the press release on it.
