Interesting security snippet


-- 3 March 2000  More Credit Card Numbers Stolen, Posted on Web
Exploiting a vulnerability in Microsoft's Internet Information Server,
a cracker calling himself "Curador" stole and posted 6,000 credit card
numbers on a web site; he claimed to have more than 23,000 numbers in
all.  The site, paid for with a stolen card number, has been shut down.
One of the breached sites, SalesGate.com, notified customers and banks
of the problem; the company plans to switch to a Linux operating system.
