Adobe 9 Users, read and heed, warning.
This was in today's tech update, but is actually dated from the 20th. If you are using the 'new' Adobe 9, and have not heard about this, it provides useful info and suggestions to a take preventative actions about this ongoing exploitation.

Re: Adobe 9 Users, read and heed, warning.
perhaps a summary of the exploitation and it's effects?
As for the time being, I've taken your advice. (or the advice of the article which I didn't read as of my writing this response)

Re: Adobe 9 Users, read and heed, warning.

Re: Adobe 9 Users, read and heed, warning.
Better to know that you have a problem in advance rather than when you get exploited through it...
