-- Article --
"Palm PDA threat to network security"
Networks could be vulnerable because passwords don't protect data held on Palm
PDAs. A back door in the Palm OS allows anyone with developer tools to access
information with the tap of a stylus. Palm's debugging program can be
exploited by anyone ready to read the Palm OS developer's manual online and
hitch up a PC to a Palm.
