netscape on CNN

[Rob Hartill <ha...@ooo.lanl.gov>]

I haven't seen mention of this anywhere on the net, but CNN report
that 2 students have found a bug or loophole that lets them read
people's credit card numbers in ten minutes. CNN report the Netscape
will replace the browser next week.

Does CNN have a scoop or are they talking techno-crap ?
