Terry;

"In order for this attack to be carried out, a user must first open a malicious Word file attached to an e-mail or otherwise provided to them by an attacker".

"As a best practice, users should always exercise extreme caution when opening unsolicited attachments from both known and unknown sources".

I do not open any eMail from an unknown source but if a known source sends me a Word doc, what to do? I know, do not use Word or the Internet! :)
