Exchange 2007 with 1 CCR & 2 Hubs internally and 2 Edge Transports on a DMZ.
Client: Outlook 2007
We block a whole list of attachments (.exe, .bat, .com, etc) from entering the
domain. Internally, Outlook keeps users from seeing "dangerous" files if they
are sent as attachments.
So I was gob-smacked yesterday when someone showed me that they could embed a
.exe in to a Word doc and send it both internally and externally...and then run
the file from Outlook.
Maybe this is a known issue with an easy fix, but it was news to me. I've done
a couple of searches with Google and nothing has turned up.
I'm assuming that a known virus will still get caught by our AV. What worries
me is a new scam with an embedded virus saying, "Click me to see the pretty
pictures" or some such silliness.
Is there a way to block Word attachments with embedded files?
