I selected this article because of the product. Adobe is the maker of a wide variety of software products. Adobe Reader I would say would have to be their most widely used application. It is not only used by business, but also home users. Adobe Reader is to pdf what Windows is to operating systems. Yes there are other products out there but the majority of consumers only know the big names. With this being one if not Adobe's mostly widely used application it would be hard to believe the effects of someone exploiting this bug.
This article was important to me, because Adobe came out and informed everyone of the issue. Not only did they inform the public, but they also posted a temporary fix for the problem until they release a patch.
"Adobe has warned that a critical flaw has been discovered in its Acrobat reader, and has recommended users disable Javascript until the bug has been fixed."
