Beware of PowerPoint Presentations: Microsoft
Warns of Nasty Bug
Microsoft is
worried about a PowerPoint bug that could let hackers take complete control of
computers running Windows. Luckily, there is a way to prevent it: Don't open
unfamiliar PowerPoint presentations. Yes, that might seem like common-sense
advice for anyone who doesn't want to be bored to death, but this bug does seem
especially nasty. In a blog post last week, Microsoft said that it was
"aware of limited, targeted attacks" using the bug, which is hidden
in PowerPoint files and gives hackers full control (depending on permissions)
of systems running Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows RT. "An
attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create
new accounts with full user rights," Microsoft warned. The company has
issued a temporary fix while it works on a security update.
