Be careful PC users while you are coming across PDF files appearing to be your credit card report, personal financial statement or balance report. The security firm, F-Secure has found out the PDF files containing virus that poses security threat to your computer.
The security firm claimed that an anonymous has already sent tens of thousands of the contaminated files via email. These emails have no texts, only PDF attachments. Once you open them, the attachment uploads a malicious programme from a Malaysian server.
The security firm have received some of the attachments like report.pdf, debt.207.pdf and overdraft.2007.10.26 etc.
Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer at F-Secure said,
We are worried about this case, as PDF attachments are typically not filtered at e-mail gateways.
