The Nightly Build, slow cooked like beans:
* Websense Security Labs [reported earlier][2] that the official website of Dolphin Stadium had been compromised with malicious code. Dolphin Stadium, the home of Sunday's Super Bowl XLI, has since cleaned up the code, but [ZDNet reports][1] that the same hack has been found on the Center for Disease Control site. Who hacks the CDC? That's evil.

[2]: http://www.websense.com/securitylabs/alerts/alert.php?AlertID=733 "Malicious Website: Super Bowl XLI / Dolphin Stadium"
* Bill Gates [chews shoe][5]. In addition to claim credit for inventing drop down menus (Xerox), security enhancements (Vista is quite possibly hackable by yelling at it) and claiming that "security guys break the Mac every single day" (there are no known in-the-wild exploits for OS X) and Bill Gates has got a new challenge. Here's [the whole quote][3] set off so everybody can see it nice and clear:
>Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine
How about it clever Monkeybites readers? Can anyone find a system critical exploit in the next 30 days? We'll go ahead and count the shouting hack just cause it's funny, even though it probably isn't all that threatening. So you just need one more hack to prove Gates wrong. We'll get you some sort of prize. Probably just a mediocre level of fame that won't last more than 30 seconds, but hey think of the personal satisfaction you'll feel.
