It doesn't take the irony award away from Symantec's recent publication
of "The Rise of PDF Malware" (Selvaraj and Gutierrez)  - distributed in,
of course, PDF format.  :-)

That report does document the markings of which Mr. Bayn speaks, as
well, though it gets pretty technical toward the end of the report.

I, too, thought that message had a lot of the markings of messages we
try to get our users to avoid:  brief, vague instructions to click on an
unexpected attachment of unknown content.

What is the PDF that you sent out?

I, and hopefully most of the other folks on this list, won’t open
random attachments just to see what is inside.
