Outbreak
Japan’s media is going crazy about the outbreak of group infection in schools of Osaka and Hyogo prefecture. None of people who’s infected has traveled overseas recently. Schools have been shut down to contain the flu.
At the same time there is an virus outbreak on the web starting in Japan. This virus(aka GENO virus) seems to use vulnerabilities of Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash Player. There is no need to panic but should update to the latest Flash Player and tick off Adobe Reader’s Javascript functions.
This virus infects through browsing infected sites. Worst is if you use FTP with an infected machine, it will manipulate your website into infected to spread virus further.
