As businesses wait for Microsoft to fix an unpatched PowerPoint vulnerability, Sophos has given advice to firms to take care over which PowerPoint presentations their users open. Microsoft has made it confirmed that there is a serious defenselessness in PowerPoint 2002, PowerPoint 2000 and PowerPoint 2003, which is expected to allow pernicious attackers to run unauthorized code on users’ computers.
PowerPoint is generally made use in the business environment for presenting corporate presentations. Hackers are supposed to swindle workers into opening malevolent PPT attachments that may misuse the flaw and install malware onto Windows computers, which could deliver a far more serious case of ‘Death by PowerPoint’.
Once a computer is infested by a backdoor Trojan, hackers can access the computer to have a prying eye, to commit theft, to plant further pernicious software, or to spread spam and denial of service attack. That is why everyone is advised to be cautious over which files they want to open on their Windows PC.
