I have not seen any exploits using it yet for Neopets, but make sure you update your Acrobat Reader to 8.0.

There is a vulnerability in older versions or Acrobat Reader that could allow people to break into your account by luring you to another web site.

Please do not ask me to post details, as I will not help people trying to steal accounts.

It's legit, I read about it too. Though.... I haven't heard about people using it to CG, as yet?

It can only be exploited if you click on a link to download a PDF, though ... so if you're concerned, double-check links on suspicious sites (you can do this by hovering your mouse over them and looking at the link address at the bottom left of your browser) before clicking, particularly if it's a link to a PDF.

No, I haven't heard that either.

Yes, good tip.

Or y'know, you could just update Acrobat Reader. :D :D

They can use IFrames so it is silent.

Littlemac, I heven't heard of people using it as a CG... yet. I'm posting this mainly as a preventive measure.

I have 8.0 on my offline computer, but I won't have to worry about it on this one.
Thanks for the heads-up, though. :)

Haha, yes, good point.

For some reason I have a tendencies to avoid doing updates unless I really have to (or want to). I think it's due to being on dial-up for so many years, when updating a program like Reader could take an hour or two :( *still traumatised*

Though, it might also be handy for people on work computers which have admin restrictions.
