        Most people are going to be saved by protected view initially.

        So it is going to come down to the contents. Is it something that the user will click past protected view?

          We were hoping for a sample to try in our malware analysis lab, but I cant find any yet.

                  @IRJ The Ars article goes into some depth, with links to the research

                      @mlnews The speed at which this 0 day has been exploited is a bit insane.

                        The speed at which we found out about how this 0 day has been exploited is a bit insane.

                        What, you think other zero days aren't immediately exploited?

                          @travisdh1 No, yeah that's a good point.

                          Just didn't think about it like that.
