FBI intros code-cracking challenge

FBI intros code-cracking challenge

The FBI has deviated from its normal hatred of anything with “crack” or “hack” in the name to release a challenge that pushes people defeat a cryptosystem developed by FBI cryptanalysts.

The FBI ran an extremely successful challenge last year with thousands of participants, but the FBI promises that this year is slightly harder. The encrypted text is as follows:

VFWTDLCSWV. YD NSLMIJFWEJFD GSW SL NIJNQBLM FOBV EJFDVF DLNIGTFBSL.
KBVBF YYY.AHB.MSK/NSCDC.OFZ FS EDF WV QLSY SA GSWI VWNNDVV.

Users who successfully solve the code should visit this site to report their success.
