I thin k it is time to do two things: 1. be real about security , invest in it not just pay lip service 2. catch those clowns and prosecute them to the full extent of the law Dave http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/w/AP-Nasdaq-Hacked.html Nasdaq, Amex Web Sites Vandalized ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A.P. INDEXES: TOP STORIES | NEWS | SPORTS | BUSINESS | TECHNOLOGY | ENTERTAINMENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Filed at 2:46 p.m. EDT By The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) -- Hackers vandalized the Internet sites Wednesday for Nasdaq and the American Stock Exchange, but there was no evidence they manipulated financial data during the electronic affront to the world's markets. A group calling itself ``United Loan Gunmen'' infiltrated the computer running the Web sites for Nasdaq and Amex just after midnight. The hackers left a taunting message -- the high-tech equivalent of spray-painting graffiti -- and also claimed to have briefly created for itself an e-mail account on Nasdaq's computer
