Mac Malware Delivered Through MS Office

http://labs.alienvault.com/labs/index.php/2012/ms-office-exploit-that-targets-macos-x-seen-in-the-wild-delivers-mac-control-rat/ Seems there is a new piece of malware targeting Mac users of Microsoft's Office program. This exploit takes advantage of the MS09-027 vulnerability that is rated important for versions of Office on OSX. It can result in a remote code execution attack and is being exploited with infected Word documents in the wild. The first known instance of this was found in a targeted spearphishing attacks against Tibetan activist groups. As always, running as a non-admin account can provide some protection from this exploit. Follow best practices and install those patches, folks.
