- In Iceland, Conficker brought a brief thaw to the long economic
winter
that began last year with the government's inexorable slide into bankruptcy. According to local news reports, shortly after midnight local time, an ATM in the capital city of Reykjavik began spewing 100-Krona notes. Banking officials there reportedly said the Microsoft Windows-based based bank system began disbursing the bills after a
local
prankster crammed an infected USB stick into the maw of the teller
machine.
