All the Security experts online are talking about The 2 Zero Day Adobe Vulnerabilities:
[ad#cricket-right-ez]As you can see this seems to be one of those Adobe problems we had in the past with [intlink id=”2963″ type=”post”]Javascript[/intlink]. They seem to be having a major problem with Javascript vulnerability and the old saying is to just to disable Javascript in PDF’S again. Adobe is calling this a Potential Adobe Reader issue and is suggesting that the users disable Javascript until this is fixed with a security update.
This is mostly affect the corporate world more than the private sector because of the fact corporate world will use PDF by sending them through emails. I suggest installing another reader and these are all free.
Be advised the vulnerabilities affects Linux, Windows, and Macintosh systems. This will most likely mean that even Macintoshes could be used to [intlink id=”2173″ type=”post”]create even more botnets[/intlink] and will need to disable there Javascript until this issue is fixed or maybe they would like to find another reader themselves. This also goes for Linux users but I have not heard of anything in the wild yet.
Don’t forget to install some [intlink id=”2205″ type=”page”]free Anti-virus and Free Firewalls[/intlink] to help protect your system from becoming a botnet.
