Alert Raised for MS Word Zero-Day Attack

The exploit arrives as an ordinary Microsoft Word document attachment to an e-mail. However, when the document is launched by the user the vulnerability is triggered to drop a backdoor with rootkit features to mask itself from anti-virus scanners.


Forewarned is five armed -- or something like that.
