Check this out:

<<<<NEWS: The lead story on CNN Money Line was........

A software firm in Europe has discovered a serious bug in Netscape's Browsers which allows unlimted access to ANY computer's hard drive while they are logged on the net via ANY Netscape browser. This includes all NSCP products, including the 4.0 product released today.

If I had heard this from nearly anyone except Lou Dobbs on CNN, I would have my doubts that this was just another planted bear story to steal the thunder from NSCP's relase today of 4.0.

Howver, ON the Money Line program they showed how the software firm which found the access bug, went into CNN's computer and stole a letter they had just written to test the veracity of these people's claim. They read the letter to CNN over the phone as soon as it was saved to CNN's hard drive. They conducted two separate tests. It is for real.

I have searched every news wire and have nothing on this yet. But no doubt it will be all over the press and TV media by the morning.>>>>
