Email
LOW RISK:
Use Basic Caution
Malicious code and fraudulent messages often circulate via email. Never open unsolicited attachments or hyperlinks and always verify the source of any message that asks you for sensitive information.
Web Activities
HIGH RISK:
Use Extreme Caution
We are aware of new in-the-wild attacks leveraging the Snapshot Viewer flaw. These attacks can exploit computers even if the vulnerable software isn't initially installed. Use caution when browsing, because this flaw is not yet patched.
Instant Messaging
LOW RISK:
Use Basic Caution
Currently, there are no widespread outbreaks of malicious code circulating via instant messaging (IM). In the past, however, some malicious code did take advantage of IM. Always use normal security precautions whenever you use IM.
File Sharing
LOW RISK:
Use Basic Caution
Although attackers often use this medium to distribute trojan applications and malicious code, no high-profile threats are currently affecting the medium. Always use caution when downloading files, especially from sources you don’t know or trust.
