Microsoft warns of Excel 0-day attack
Microsoft warned on Friday that the software giant has received a single
report of a company targeted by an attack using a previously unknown flaw in Excel. The warning comes the same week that Microsoft fixed a flaw in Word that had been used in targeted attacks that, at least on the face, appear similar. The software giant said its Office team is currently investigating the flaw and reiterated that customers should be cautious of attachments." http://www.securityfocus.com/brief/231?ref=rss Imhotep -- ************************************* Pass a Net Neutrality Law in the US!!!!
