[TowerTalk] Explorer 3.0 Security problem

[k4sb@avana.net]

According to article in the Atlanta paper this morning, 3.0 has a VERY serious security
flaw. Was discovered by some student in college, and referred to Microsoft. They confirmed it
and, according to papers, have their software people working on it non-stop with highest
priority.

Article said to look for a new version as soon as it's ready. In view of the fact this is
now public knowledge, I would suggest destruction of the present version, before the hackers
tear us to pieces....This is a wide open hole for viruses, ect.

73,
