Haven't read the article, but as the Mafia has already proven they can modify code to suit their needs, I don't need much convincing that terrorists can do so as well. It's common knowledge companies have sent their code to such diverse places as India, Pakistan, the Ukraine, and China. Nothing against those countries, it's just that the lure of easy money is that much stronger when the company you are betraying is a nameless, faceless foreign entity.

Elliot -

The theme of the article concerns the ease of terrorists in infiltrating information systems due to the Y2K crisis.

Rather than looking for nasty hackers in front of the terminals, how about management keeping its head in dark places?

Hrumph!
