Gopher Hole in Internet Explorer
Finnish security firm Oy Online Solutions found another security hole in Internet Explorer, versions 5.01 through 6.0. This one affects an outdated feature called Gopher--a protocol that was used for accessing text pages over the Internet before the advent of the World Wide Web. Hardly anyone uses Gopher these days, but IE still includes the capability. Even if you don't use Gopher, a cracker could entice you to click a Web link or open an HTML e-mail that would allow the intruder to take over your PC. At press time there was no sign of a patch, but Microsoft did post a workaround.
