Trusteer Warns of Impending Wave of PDF malware attacks   LONDON, 12th April, 2010 A structural flaw in the Adobe PDF format - which is widely used to distribute documents across multiple computing platforms - can be exploited to install almost any malware on a user's computer.   And says Trusteer, the browser security and fraud prevention specialist, security researcher Didier Stevens' demonstration (http://bit.ly/bDVf7W) of a multi-stage misuse of Adobe `/Launch' function - which is part of the PDF feature set - poses a potentially serious threat to organisations and individuals.   The demonstrated attack allows criminals to embed a malicious executable file inside a simple PDF file. When the user opens the PDF the malicious executable runs.    "Whilst Acrobat Reader normally display a warning that an executable inside a PDF file is being launched, Stevens appears to have found a way to modify the alert and fool users into approving the action," said Mickey Boodaei, Trusteer's CEO.

LONDON, 16th April, 2010 - As predicted last week by Trusteer (http://bit.ly/bDVf7W), a new variant of the Zbot/Zeus trojan has now arrived, embedded in an Adobe PDF file. 

And, says Mickey Boodaei, CEO with the browser security and fraud prevention specialist, this week's warning by fellow security vendor Websense shows how quickly cybercriminals are exploiting these types of security issues. 

"Just as a virus and malware prevention industry had to move swiftly to counter the so-called zero-day security threats as they started arriving around five years ago, so the industry must ratchet up its protection strategy once again to meet this expanded threat," he said.
