Premier's Web site to a phony site that asked for customers' personal

Maplewood-based Premier Banks, which operates 22 branches, was among
more than 100 banks across the nation that were affected when hackers
gained access to a server operated by Goldleaf Technologies Inc. of
Brentwood, Tenn., on Thursday. Goldleaf is host to Web sites mostly

personal-identification numbers.
