Hacking driven via word files

Hacking activity has revealed its different dimensions right from its origin. Hacking is driven via MMS in mobile phones and hackers even hit the pacemakers. Now hacking is about to be driven via word files. Microsoft has warned computer users that hackers were trying to install malware through word documents. The intention of these cyber criminals stands on exploiting vulnerabilities in the Windows Operating System to commence the attack. Thus the users should be very careful while using word files. It would be safe if we don’t open or save word files that are received from unauthorized sources. Unless you make sure that incoming word files are from a secure source never try to open the file. The flaw has been detected in the Jet Database Engine that is used by a number of applications. It is not known when Microsoft will patch the flaw.
