Microsoft mea culpa after 'massive' pdf attack
Microsoft said it is working around the clock on a patch for a Windows flaw that is partly responsible for an ongoing attack wave of infected PDFs.
The company has updated a security advisory to reflect the fact that exploit code is in the wild, but it may be too late for many. Security researchers said hackers have ramped up attacks using malicious PDF files that target the vulnerability. F-Secure called the surge in spam carrying the rigged PDF documents "massive" and said the run is ongoing. Ken Dunham, director of response at iSight Partners, confirmed that the number of rogue PDFs soared on Friday. http://www.techworld.com/security/ne...S&NewsID=10469
