    Duqu infection linked to Microsoft Word exploit



    The Duqu computer infection was spread with the help of an infected Microsoft Word document, according to a report.

    The research says the Trojan exploited a previously unknown vulnerability embedded in Word files, allowing Duqu to modify computers' security protection.

    The code is believed to have been designed to gather intelligence from industrial control-systems.

    Microsoft says it is preparing a software patch to address the issue.
