Adobe Reader and Acrobat Being Exploited

Thursday, the folks at Adobe announced that there was a vulnerability that is currently being exploited in all version 9 and earlier. The security group over at Shadowserver.org has been seeing targeted attacks that exploit this vulnerability that allows an attacker remote code execution. That sucks.

Brian Krebs from SecurityFix blog has a write up that you can read more details. Brian does a fabulous job keeping folks informed of computer security issues. Click here to read his post about the Adobe vulnerability. Adobe has a write up on their site too and you can click here to read that post.

As always you should never click on attachments or links in unsolicited e-mails. Stay safe and have a fabulous weekend.
