I read about this being used to hack computers recently. Are most computers still vulnerable to this?
Payload=malicious file that could potentially create a backdoor that runs in the document when you enable macros (most people are not cognizant of this possibility).
An article I read tested this successfully on a Windows machine running Outlook that defaulted to Adobe to read the PDF.
I noticed in GMail that docs and PDFs aren't opened on the computer, but read in a window. Does this prevent payload execution?
Anyways, I'd like to know if this is still a thing and why? Why can't Adobe or Microsoft build their applications to not allow this?
