US Army attacked via new Windows flaw
In an unusual case, attackers have begun exploiting a new Microsoft bug before the flaw was widely known. Microsoft is urging sites to patch their servers as quickly as possible
Microsoft warned customers on Monday that a security hole in Windows 2000 and the company's Web server software is allowing online attackers to take control of corporate servers.
Because the vulnerability is being actively exploited by Internet vandals, Microsoft advised customers to apply a patch or use a workaround to defend against the attack as soon as possible. One of the servers attacked belonged to the US Army, according to reports.

Diablo Canyon power plant a prime terror target
For an installation that generates about 10 percent of California's electricity, the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant near here seems remarkably unobtrusive.

10 Jahre Hyperventilieren
Wired
Dass ein Magazin wie "Wired" zehn Jahre alt wird, grenzt an ein Wunder: So einäugig wie weitsichtig versorgt es seine Tech-affine Leserschaft mit Nachrichten, die es so sonst nirgends zu lesen gibt. Zum Glück, in jeder Hinsicht.

Shark Attack at Petting Zoo
It started like any another trip to the Florida Aquarium for Julie Menke and her 13-month-old daughter, Shannon.
Menke said she and her daughter had their hands in the water, hoping to pet a small approaching shark that a woman monitoring the tank said was friendly. That's when another passing shark whipped around and bit her hand, she said.

Technology of War
With tensions mounting between Iraq and the United States, the world's focus is shifting away from the rhetoric of war to the reality of war.
