Daqu and Network Security

There is a little malicious trojan that exploits Windows called Daqu.  Daqu was supposedly only affecting Word documents, but it is becoming more and more clear simply going to a webpage containing this malicious font can cause a lot of headaches for your computer network.

Network security is a complex series of cat and mouse.  Hackers and spammers throw junk out there that is designed to get you to web pages you don’t want to go or buy products you don’t need.  The daqu issue is no different.  When you are vulnerable in your computer network you are endangering your whole network and can be assured that your business data is at serious risk.

Microsoft came up with a workaround which will help protect you from the dangers of this malicious trojan embedded in truetype fonts.  We’d suggest that you install it.
