In the last week Microsoft issued a February patch release for Microsoft Office and after less than 24 hours from being released another new zero-day attack on Word 2000/XP has been discovered.
This is the ninth vulnerability to affect Microsoft Office in recent months (vulnerability described in CVE-2007-0870 ) and affects all versions of Microsoft Office 2000 and XP.
Microsoft has received reports of limited, targeted attacks against Word which was confirmed by a Microsoft security advisory.
Microsoft’s Office components are being exploited more and more by attackers that wish to target specific companies or organizations. Source
If there is always hackers then there will always be attacks on big software companies.
