Trend Micro says it detected a targeted attack that sent malware-laden emails to 16 European countries and some Asian governments. The bogus emails purported to come from China’s defense ministry. The emails exploited a now-patched vulnerability in Microsoft Office versions 2003 to 2010. Microsoft patched the vulnerability in Office more than a year ago but attackers are still frequently targeting it, the company says. The stolen information was then sent to two IP addresses in Hong Kong, although those servers have since been shut down.”]
