Word to the wise... http://isc.sans.org
The Internet Storm Center is reporting yet another Internet Explorer exploit, taking advantage of a bug in an ActiveX control. The ISC is also pointing to reports of an exploit packaged in a PowerPoint file. I may have mentioned it before: Do not open attachments from untrusted sources and... there are no trusted sources. I wouldn't advise anyone to open a PowerPoint until they are sure their anti-virus scanners have been updated and clear the file. Better yet, open it in OpenOffice.org. Better yet... imagine a day with no PowerPoint.
