Windows-based ATM hack.

It really amazes me that a bank would put customer's accounts and their own cash at risk by running a "swiss cheese" OS, like windows. I started online banking last year, but only after checking what servers they were using. They use Linux servers, and windows on their teller stands. Everything goes through a Linux box setup up as a firewall. This puts my mind at ease. Linux can be broken into, but it is a lot harder and you can't move around as easy as you can in windows.
