In order to conduct an "Admistrative Review" the White House took its
web server offline and also closed off all e-mail to and from the
outside world. This comes after what HNN believes to be a successful
crack of the www1. server at 8:50am EST Monday morning. This crack was
_not_ related to other recent .gov/.mil cracks nor was this crack
strongly related to the Chinese embassy bombing or had any other
political motives. Other mainstream news outlets are getting their
stories confused. (If you only read one of these articles I recommend
the one by Brock Meeks of MSNBC, it seems to be the most thorough.)

The Association of Local Authorities, an umbrella organization for
Isreals municipalities says that some systems such as those that record
traffic ticket payments may not function properly after January 1, 2000.
Traffic lights may be shut down and parking tickets erased a
spokesperson said. <i>(Hmmmm, wonder if I should pay that speeding
ticket from NJ?)</i>

An Issaquah, Washington high-tech company is claiming thousands of
dollars worth of damage after it had it web page defaced. The defaced
page was a protest of NATOs bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade.
The FBI is investigating and have claimed to have tracked the attackers
to New York, one in Massachusetts, and another in St. Louis.
