Increased Risks from Macro-Based Malware
2016 June 9
US-Cert warning of increased risk from Macro-based malware. Nothing new here, but I’ve seen a marked increase of external intrusion attempts in the last few months. Maybe it’s because of where I work (financial services) , but it seems to me the bad guys are working overtime to get to people.

CERT Australia’s recommendations on macro security. Basically, disable MS Office Macros. Not sure if that’s practical for the enterprise, but for external documents, extreme caution must be taken.
