Adobe Set To Patch Acrobat Reader Flaw Next Week

Our Comments 

This is a zero-day bug which means that it has a much higher level of threat and users could potentially use another PDF reader like Foxit Reader until Adobe solves the issue. Acrobat, like Flash, is one of the most used applications in the world which makes it a very tasty target for hackers and cybercriminals. PDF spam might be a thing of the past but for the next few weeks, take care about using Acrobat.
