SECURITY HOLE IN NETSCAPE

Because of a security hole in the Netscape browser, about a thousand
computers have been infected in a way that would allow a network vandal to
see, run, and delete files on the victim's computer. Netscape is working
rapidly to solve the problem, but network security experts are suggesting
that, until the solution is found, Netscape users should disable the Java
programming languages in their browsers.
