Subject: Re: [PHC] Discuss the contest in the media?

helpnet security (net-security.org), securityledger.com and arstechnica.com will be at #passwords14, Marsh & Greg from Microsoft does a talk on what Microsoft would like to see from PHC, and JP will introduce ALL the candidates in his presentation. Its a good start imho, getting PHC known around the world.

More info & schedule at passwordscon.org
