Malware From China Uses Iran Nuclear Tension to Target Military Staff

Chinese cyber criminals seize on rising political tension over Irans suspected covert nuclear weapons program to sneak malware on to computers. Latest targeted attack comes in the form of a browser exploitation spread through a Word (.doc) document bundled with spam mail. The document contains a Shockwave Flash applet that tries to load a video file (.mp4) from hxxp://208.1xx.23x.76/test.mp4. When the file loads and the Flash Player tries to render the MP4, it triggers an exploit in the Adobe Flash plugin (CVE-2012-0754)”]
