My son just received a a book yesterday called 'eats, shoots and leaves' - on one page it shows a cartoon of a Panda bear ... eating with the title of the book as a caption. On the next page is the same caption with a picture of a criminal at a diner. hmmm...
With that in mind, I just read an article describing how hackers can now use zero day exploits to put a trojan on your system that'll then open up brand new doors!
Once activated the Trojan installed a program that allowed such control of a computer that it could stream back live pictures via the computer's web cam (which it could switch on) or allow the hacker to record the sound from its microphone.
The picture could be of cloistered deviants watching you late at night working on your bank accounts with the caption "remote capture!"
or
The picture could be of your boss watching you during your telecommute work hours managing your fantasy football team with the caption "remote capture!"
ha!
so I'm sure whether to list this article under new threat - or new corporate management tool! it's funny when those two world collide

UPDATE: 10-8-08 - Adobe has issued a press release, but other than that, it appears clickjacking will be around for a while!
