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?
