UGLIEST DOG CONTEST HACKED

For the last 17 years, the Sonoma-Marin Fair in California has held the WORLD'S UGLIEST DOG CONTEST. This year, they added an online competition so that people from around the world could vote. But last week, some cyber-geek HACKED the website and erased 40,000 votes for PEE WEE, the horribly ugly mixed-breed pooch who was in the lead!!! So. . . they've had to start the voting over, and hopefully this time, it will be more secure. It certainly sounds like they've really increased security. Tawny Tesconi, the chief executive of the fair, told a local newspaper reporter, quote, "We've been putting in some firewalls or whatever they're called to prevent the vote stealing from happening again."
