- In Iceland, Conficker brought a brief thaw to the long economic winter
that began last year with the government's inexorable slide into bankruptcy.
According to local news reports, shortly after midnight local time, an ATM
in the capital city of Reykjavik began spewing 100-Krona notes. Banking
officials there reportedly said the Microsoft Windows-based based bank
system began disbursing the bills after a local prankster crammed an
infected USB stick into the maw of the teller machine.
