The US Army's website (www.army.mil) which was running on a Windows NT server was infiltrated by a hacker in 1999. The Army decided to switch to a Macintosh server running MacOS and WebSTAR (by Starnine). Regarding the change to a Macintosh server the Army stated, "the reason for choosing this particular server and software is that according to the World Wide Web Consortium, it is more secure than its counterparts. According to the Consortium's published reports on its findings, Macintosh does not have a command shell, and because it does not allow remote logins, it is more secure than other platforms. The report also said the Consortium has found no specific security problems in either the software or the server."

The US Army had two other web servers hacked that were running on Windows NT servers in March of 2000. The hackers were not able to hack the main site because it is running on a Macintosh using WebSTAR but were easily able to hack into and modify the contents of pages on two other servers.

A private firm, VirTech Communications, set up a Mac server and offered $15,000 to anyone who could gain unauthorized access. No one could ever. The site was running for two years and had over 140,000 attacks.

Despite continual complaints about security concerns, Microsoft uses Win98 to keep track of PC owners without their knowledge. Inside every Win98 package is a Wizard that creates a directory of all applications and their serial numbers on the system, and reports these back to Microsoft on a cookie when you connect to the Microsoft network, ask for technical support online, or register your product electronically.
