I've been asked about work document spam, in the sense
of "why are word documents scanned for spam?" A google
search reveals some word doc spam last fall, and I do
recall seeing the "invoice spam" mentioned in, for example:
http://www.itwire.com.au/content/view/5388/53/
Has anybody seen more recent Word doc spam activity? My
inclination is to leave word document scanning in place,
since once a successful vector is discovered, it is likely
to be exploited again. However, I prefer buidling my
cases on more than a hunch.
Thank You,
Mike
