12:30pm 2.Jul.98.PDT Microsoft is scrambling to patch a significant security hole that can leave a 
Web site's sensitive information, such as database logins, passwords, and trade secrets, exposed to 
malicious users.

source code used in Microsoft's Active Server Page (ASP) protocol applications running on 
Microsoft's Internet Information Servers.

course, Microsoft (MSFT) -- which has promised a fix by the end of Thursday.
