Planxty Songbook 1976.pdf
Did someone who's email address I don't recognise just send me an attachment by this name?
If you did, thank you, but please let me know - there's an unpatched Adobe Reader exploit out there in the wild blue internets, so I'm reluctant to download or open a .pdf I wasn't expecting.

And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

That would be a pretty narrowly targeted attack with that file name. I mean how many people in the world would even know what Planxty is, let alone want to open a file with a Planxty songbook.

Yeah. The coverage of this exploit does say that it's a targetted attack, although I'm certainly nothing like a "high-ranking" person!FJohnSharp wrote:That would be a pretty narrowly targeted attack with that file name.

The assaults target a zero-day flaw in Adobe's program, which means there isn't yet any patch available. According to Symantec the attacks currently focus on "high-ranking people within different organizations," and though the company isn't directly confirming the method, the announcement appears to describe an attack that uses a .pdf e-mail attachment. Symantec did say " the simplest way to spread this threat is to send it as an e-mail attachment."
I expect that as a targeted attack using a zero-day, the e-mails in question would be convincing and well-crafted. If the attack is successful, it will install a Trojan onto the victim machine. The malware is capable of giving remote-control access to the attackers, Symantec says, and the end goal may be the theft of corporate documents.

It would have to be someone who knows you well enough to know your interest in Irish music. This is kind of creepy.

Re: Planxty Songbook 1976.pdf
I want one, too. I'll open it in fox-it reader...If the issue is with adobe, it shouldn't be a problem using another reader unless it, too, has the same problem.
The nature of the pdf does seem too specific for it to be a random virus.

I can't believe that anybody around here would want the alleged item.

And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.

Yes but when I want my friends to play 'Frost is All Over' just like the Planxty version I need to give them the music. Actually Eileen Ivers plays that version too I recently learned.dubhlinn wrote:I can't believe that anybody around here would want the alleged item.
