The original article was titled: "Botnet cyber-attack costs company 300 million yen" and the person who forwarded it translated that into 3 million dollars, which, while not perfectly accurate, is off by only 4% (1 dollar is 104 yen today). jms David Farber wrote:

The numbers in the article are probably off.)As is the subject of the article... 300 million dollars is not the same as 300 million yen, unless the dollar has weakened pretty significantly. -- Cheers, Hasan Diwan <hasan.diwan () gmail com> ------------------------------------------- Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
