{Wired claims that hackers seized control of all the servers of a 
Brazilian Bank last October for several hours. The crime was so well 
executed that bankers couldn’t even use their email system to warn 
customers. Wired has not named the bank but media and Wikipedia reports 
it is Banrisul Bank.}
