PDF Reading Considered Harmful
Friday, September 10th, 2010 03:32 pmThis week, Adobe announced a critical vulnerability in Acrobat Reader. This isn't the only critical bug discovered in Acrobat in the past year; hackers seem to have devoted significant attention to it lately. I recommend using a non-Adobe PDF reader like Preview on MacOS, evince on *nix, and Google Docs on the web. And be suspicious of PDF attachments you weren't expecting.
