formatted SMH article.<br>

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.smh.com.au/technology/security/thousands-of-aussie-websites-exposed-in-hack-attack-20110617-1g6vd.html">http://www.smh.com.au/technology/security/thousands-of-aussie-websites-exposed-in-hack-attack-20110617-1g6vd.html</a><br>
<br>
This article refers to two separate issues. It looks almost like two
different articles got mashed together because they seemed related
(two different reports are credited also...)<br>
