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.

A `hacker' is one who writes code. Breaking into systems is `cracking'.

BTW, I was just reading in LAN TIMES, I think, that Microsoft NT 3.5 is
about to be giving C2 status from the NCSC. They stated that it took over
a year to pass it. They also mention that Novell Netware is going the
same tests and it should have its C2 status in about 6 months to a year.
Though you would like to know.

C2 status isn't worth anything. NT might be one of the only
OSes that ship C2-compliant, but just because it is C2 doesn't mean
it is secure.
