Bermudan Bank Site Defaced
Hackers may have exploited a Microsoft operating system vulnerability
to deface two Bermudan websites, including that of the Bank of
Butterfield.  Bank officials say no customer data was compromised.
The site hosts are recommending that their clients who work with data
that needs to be protected switch to their Unix based hosting platform.

[Editor's Note Schultz]: The recommendation in this news item should
add a considerable amount of fuel to the "whose operating system is
most secure" debate.]
