Triple threat targets Word users

Users of Microsoft Word are being urged to be careful as malicious hackers target the word processing software.

Three unpatched bugs in Word have been uncovered in the last few weeks and two are already being exploited by attackers.

The loopholes being exploited allow attackers to create booby-trapped documents that steal information or take over a PC when they are opened.

Microsoft has yet to release patches to fix the bugs in the Word software.
