Well they only have the ports open on the first day. It only starts to get interesting on the 3rd and 4th days. Probably more fun to get an evaluation copy or two and mess about with it for 30 days. But such publicity stunts are always useful. You get free media exposure for spending the premium on the insurance (if insured), or DM100,000 * probability of hack. As a comparison: what was the result of the Win 2K hack contest anyway? Cheerio, Link.
