Re: May, 1996 Java/Netscape hole from Princeton team
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Checkout the following story ``Netscape browser bug found, but fix
ready'' from the Reuter news service. (May 20, 1996.)
http://cnn.com/TECH/9605/20/netscape.bug.wir/index.htm
Quote from article: ``If you can't beat the hackers, hire one of
them -- that's what Netscape Communications Corp. is doing to
resolve the latest security breech in its browser software
discovered by a Princeton University team.''
The article goes on to detail how the Princeton team found the
latest hole, and how Dan Wallach, a member of the team and 24 year
old computer science graduate in his 3rd year according to article,
has been hired by Netscape's software security team. Way to go!
This says that Princeton is definitely turning out top-notch
grads who can solve very real world problems.
