[5] Macintosh Server Recruited by the Army for Improved Security

StarNine Technologies has announced that the U.S. Army's main web site,
http://www.army.mil/, is now being served by StarNine's WebSTAR Server
Suite running on the Mac OS. The Army site had previously been served
from
a Windows NT-based server, when it was hacked into by a 19-year old
Wisconsin man who was arrested for malicious altering. After careful
evaluation of WebSTAR on the Mac OS, and a review of the World Wide Web
Consortium's (W3C) favorable reports on WebSTAR's security, the switch
to
WebSTAR on the Mac OS has been completed. You can read W3C's general
security analysis at its web site.
