Olympic Trojan targets Microsoft Excel exploit
Microsoft's decision to hold back an Excel patch from last month's Patch Tuesday may have left millions exposed as attackers target the un-patched flaw in Excel.
The US Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) has issued a warning that Excel file attachments are being used to spread a trojan which allows a hacker to gain user rights to a PC.
The trojan is packed inside an Excel attachment and exploits a flaw discovered in multiple versions of Excel in January.
