MICROSOFT BECOMES NEW TARGET OF HACKING CHALLENGE (10/2)
By HEATHER GREEN c.1995 Bloomberg Business News
BERKELEY, Calif. -- Microsoft Corp. has been chosen as a new target for computer hackers.
Community Connexion, an Internet service provider that last week promised a free T-shirt to anyone who found a flaw in Netscape Communications Corp.'s software, extended the challenge Friday to include holes in Microsoft products.
. . .
I don't know about everyone else, but a T-shirt seems a very small reward for uncovering a "hole" in the encryption algorithm of Microsoft products. Does that apply to any and all bugs?? i.e. not necessarily security problems??
