Who cares about the exact reason, the problem is that critical banking
infrastructure was damaged because of an internet slowdown. Why is it
better that a banking "datacenter's" integrity was compromised than
network route congestion. If I had to pick between two banks each
exhibiting these problems I'll take one that is only affected due to
network congestion in ATM traffic than one that has it's entire
datacenter f*cked by a worm...
