Re: How to parry the recent Chinese hack attacks? The hacks exploited Adobe PDF reader flaws as well as the one(s) in IE. »www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/0···el%29%29
Adobe products have been very buggy recently, and the "Javascript in PDFs by default" is a poor design (for users; maybe good for Adobe). But there are flaws in other PDF readers too.
Part of the problem is that the attack need only succeed against one PC in the organization that will let the attacker snag sufficient credentials to get desirable data from that PC or access to the rest of the internal network. |
