Attacking Adobe Reader means that people who use Firefox are also at risk. For a long while, the popular security paradigm on Windows was that if you used IE you were at risk, but if you kept up with Windows Update and used only Firefox to browse the web you were pretty much safe from the majority of the exploits in the wild. Now that malicious PDFs are out there in force, users of Firefox are vulnerable once again.
I'm not too sure that gmail isn't a target... A couple weeks ago, my friend's Gmail account got hacked and the spammers sent the following message out to all his contacts:
I am willing to give you a surprising happiness! Yesterday i had
received the digtal camera which i ordered from ---www.wwooz.com--
last week. its quilty is very good , and the price is very low.i am
satisfied with it.
If the products you expect is on the site, it is a wise choice for you
to buy from this site.I believe you can get many surprising happiness
and concessions.
Incidentally,they import the products from korea.all of the products
are brand new and original. they have good credit and many good
feedback.they are worth trusting for us .
Best wishes !

Closer makes no difference, effective transfer speed does (which BT already prioritizes peers based upon). I can get much better download rates from the guy in Finland with a 100mbit connection then I can from the guy across town on my same cable ISP with an already saturated 384kbps upload.

I was hit by this issue earlier today, more info with some malware URLs available on metafilter here.
I'm betting that a good amount of the information used in this case came from posters on the WGA forum, where people can post if they're having issues with WGA. One of the tools available in that forum is a WGA diagnostic tool which will generate a sanitized text dump of a user's windows validation information. Most cases on that forum are people whose brother, cousin, or sketchy PC shop installed a common warez release of Windows on their systems, but several there are people who bought apparently legitimate software from resellers which failed validation and later turned out to be counterfeit. Microsoft got in touch with these users, identified the resellers, and I'm betting that this news story is the result.
HELP!!!! I'm being held prisoner in /usr/games/lib!
