Adobe dostigao Microsoft: It's official: Adobe Reader is world's most-exploited appAli ipak... portable dokument format koji ce vam inficirati mrezu, nije lose. Adobe treba poslati na security vecernju skolu, a u medjuvremenu koristiti neki drugi PDF reader, koji implementira samo ISO 19005-1 a ne nove Adobe-ove bagovite sarenise :)

It's official: Adobe Reader is world's most-exploited app
Adobe's ubiquitous Reader application has replaced Microsoft Word as the program that's most often targeted in malware campaigns, according to figures compiled by F-Secure.
Files based on Reader were exploited in almost 49 percent of the targeted attacks of 2009, compared with about 39 percent that took aim at Microsoft Word. By comparison, in 2008, Acrobat was targeted in almost 29 percent of attacks and Word was exploited by almost 35 percent.
"Why has it changed?" F-Secure asks here. "Primarily because there has been more vulnerabilities in Adobe Acrobat/Reader than in the Microsoft Office applications."
Underscoring the surge of Reader attacks, online thugs recently unleashed a new malware campaign that exploits vulnerabilities patched three weeks ago in the widely used program. The attacks target financial institutions with a PDF file with a name that refers to the so-called Group of 20 most influential economic powers. F-Secure and Microsoft have additional details here and here.
When victims click on the file with unpatched versions of Reader, the file installs a backdoor that causes their system to connect to a server at tiantian.ninth.biz.
Other applications included in Microsoft Office also experiences sharp declines in exploitation. PowerPoint attacks dropped from almost 17 percent in 2008 to less than 5 percent last year. Excel fell from about 17 percent to less than 8 percent. ®
