Yesterday Reuters picked up a story run by Newsweek that claimed that President Clinton has authorized the CIA to break into the bank accounts of Slobodan Milosevic. Since this story was run of the Reuters news service it has been picked up by news outlets around the country. The problem is that we have seen no confirming reports. No verifiable quotes. The claims being put forth by this Newsweek article are pretty outrageous and unfortunately unverifiable. Break into commercial bank accounts and "diddle with" the figures? I think more than a few banks and governments would be upset with such actions. HNN hopes that someone who is willing to be identified from either the CIA or the Presidents office comes forward soon to either confirm or denounce these allegations.

CIH attacks a system by corrupting both the the File Allocation Table and the BIOS. Developers in Australia claim that they have created a program that will rebuild the FAT table of an infected system. However, they have been unable to solve the BIOS corruption problem.
