Adobe is indicating they have received reports of active exploitation of a 0day vulnerability affecting Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.2 and earlier versions (CVE-2009-4324). We encourage our clients to use caution when opening PDF files. Links to malicious documents can easily be sent through spam or through links on seemingly non-malicious Web sites. We also recommend referring to the Adobe PSIRT blog for the latest information on this threat.

Some of the common predictions are: increased attacks targeting Microsoft 7 platforms and smartphones, more tailored and targeted attacks and continued targeting of social networking sites to distribute malware and obtain information. We have seen attackers become increasingly sophisticated over the years and their attacks harder to detect. And if you’re not technically savy? Script kiddies have professionally produced products readily available to them on the Internet. In other words, be prepared for another cyber threat filled environment in 2010.
