to do so. The relativly better security probably does protect it from the

I would be very supprised if the systems that build the core of the
internet backbone, coupled with those that run the highest profile sites
are not subjected to the most deliberate attacks going.

If you were a black hat looking to do mischief, what would be a bigger
prize.... A big pile of Windows boxes? or eBay, the BBC News site, and
Telehouse in docklands?
