This week's .PDF blitz
If you've received a blitz of spam e-mails with .PDF attachments, hopefully you didn't open one.
I don't know what they do, and have no desire to personally find out, but it couldn't have been anything good.
A lot of people have assumed that .PDFs are "safe" but some reporters at the New York Times discovered that .PDFs can be used to carry "payloads" for snooping. Looks like someone in the generic world of evil-doers decided to take a crack at it.
*sigh*
Now the anti-virus/anti-spyware checker has to sweep another file type for another profile.
