In an online forum someone said, "You need to be very carefull with Adobe feeds. RSS feeds in general and Adobe to boot are infamous for spreading viruses." While I am waiting for them to cite their source, I thought I would ask if anyone here knows of a piece of malware that spreads via RSS. I know there has been research in this area, but I do not know of any examples of RSS feeds spreading malware. Do you? -Eric Eric Case, CISSP eric (at) ericcase (dot) com http://www.linkedin.com/in/ericcase (520) 344-CISO (2476)
