Adobe Reader Exploit

Adobe Reader recently had an exploit that allowed the download and execution of a remote file upon opening a .pdf in Adobe Reader software. Sophos released a video demonstrating this. If you use Adobe Reader ensure that you update it regularly to remain protected against exploits like these.
