Subject: Real-world Ruby?

Slashdot is currently featuring a story called "Boarding Pass Hacker
Targets Bank of America"
(http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/04/12/1444204), which links to
an entry in the "slight paranoia" blog
(http://paranoia.dubfire.net/2007/04/deceit-augmented-man-in-middle-attack.html)
about a demonstration phishing attack against the SiteKey service used
by Bank of America and other financial web sites.

About halfway down in the blog entry is this explanation:

"Our demonstration is based on a concise 130 line ruby script that
carries out this attack and that could be written by a phisher with
average skills and in a relatively short time."

I guess this is evidence of use of Ruby in the enterprise, or at least
use of Ruby by enterprising phishers :-)
