Security problem on Palm.Net

ZDNet uncovered a <A HREF="http://www.zdnet.com/anchordesk/story/story_3969.html">security problem</A> in Palm Computing's Palm.Net service. The hole could give someone access to the iMessenger Blind Carbon Copy server where they could get a copy of all messages you sent from your Palm VII organizer by automatically sending a blind carbon copy ("BCC") of all your mail to themselves. The article also said that once 3Com knew about this, they quickly pulled the offending script and continue to work on a permanent solution.
