- 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.
