Hong Kong beauties stiffed by hackers’ enormous poll attack

Fans of simpering scantily clad vixens are furious after the online voting system to pick the next Miss Hong Kong was demolished by hackers, allegedly. The winner of the much-hyped beauty pageant, held on Sunday, was instead decided by a panel of judges.

Broadcaster TVB had been stringing the public along for months with endless TV adverts and pre-pageant shows as the sizeable pool of Miss Hong Kong wannabes was whittled down. Anticipation reached fever pitch.
