Mandiant APT2 PDF Malware

That didn't take long at all.

So, I got a notification from corporate security that there was a piece of malware around that it taking advantage of the popularity of Mandiant's APT1 report.  That's a huge deal, but one should really be checking downloads against Mandiant's posted MD5s anyways.

Bottom-line:  do not open it (verifiy the PDF if you can...if you can't don't open it).

I've reported it to ISC.
