DANGER

DANGER

There's a nasty bugger of a PowerPoint file going around now and hopefully you'll read this here, or anywhere to save you some grief, and $$$.

As one "might" expect, it has a secret Flash component which exploits a security hole in certain versions of Adobe Flash [ed. - keep that Flash updated!!].

As you would expect, targets will be mostly business addresses with subject's like "Here's the final version of the PowerPoint presentation", or, "New revision, take this one on your trip instead of the old one", etc. One opened, the Flash component goes to work and opens a backdoor to your computer for possible information gathering, potential bot operations, or to load other malicious information onto your PC. It's a dangerous world out there - be careful.

Oh! that black dot in the picture? It's just a Black Hole sucking your companies information from you. Sleep easy tonight.
