Flaw found in Office encryption
-------------------------------
"The data protection feature in Microsoft Word and Excel documents has
a major flaw that could allow snoopers to decode password-protected
files, a security researcher has warned.

The problem arises because Microsoft programmers did not implement the
encryption correctly in its Office applications, Hongjun Wu, a
cryptographer at the Institute of Infocomm Research in Singapore, wrote
in a paper on the topic."
