Interesting indeed - hackers are usually people which are trying to figure out what "they" aint telling "us".
On the contrary to these "crash-kids" which are just pretending that there existance is not meaningless. Which is kind of sad since just like stalkers - those people (i guess they are also called script-kiddies) are mentally sick.
imho they just need to understand that they dont need to related there own "power" to the attention of whomever else.

The later may be just another disease of civilisation if you think about the days of some kids - school, extra math, sport, extra music, homework etc. etc.

They have found that several members of the IT Team from Satyam (out of India) were caught putting keyloggers into the banks systems...would be interesting to trace some of these peoples history to see what "affiliations" they may belong to...hmmmm

From the fox article

"After a forensic analysis of the treasury breach, bank investigators discovered that spy software was covertly installed on workstations inside the bank's Washington headquarters — allegedly by one or more contractors from Satyam Computer Services, one of India's largest IT companies.

The software — which operates through a method known as keystroke logging — enabled every character typed on a keyboard to be transmitted to a still-unknown location via the Internet.

Upon its discovery, insiders report, bank officials shut off the data link between Washington and Chennai, India, where Satyam has long operated the bank's sole offshore computer center responsible for all of the bank's financial and human resources information.

Satyam was also banned from any future work with the bank. "I want them off the premises now," Zoellick reportedly told his deputies. But at the urging of CIO De Poerck, Satyam employees remained at the bank as recently as Oct. 1 while it engaged in "knowledge transfer" with two new India-based contractors."

So as to finding out anything besides the Fox story ..no nothing yet.
