  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.
