Beware of images with the file extensions BMP or PNG! This is because an error in thes formats enables hackers to smuggle in the desired damaged codes. Users of Photoshop CS2,CS3, Elements of 5.0 and Paintshop Pro 11.2 are advised to open only those images which have reliable sources. These loopholes were reproduced in XP as well as Vista in a test. The attack was detected because the program crashed. The attacker only has rights for starting the photo editor. And yet this is all the hackers need to penetrate deeper into the system.
Security experts from various security films are already issuing warnings that more and more loopholes are being used in applications to dive into systems to corrupt them. The main reason for this is hackers turning to more neglected programs such as Photoshop since the improved security mechanisms in Windows Vista thwart many attack attempts.
