But this wasn't a PDF, it was a program that users were opening (maybe a program disguised to look like a PDF), so that wouldn't have helped here.

- ThePowerOfFuet 4y agoIt absolutely would have helped; the containment (and in a disposable qube!) would have nullified the attack.
- mike_hearn 4y agoIf the user ensures the program runs in a separate Qube, but if they think it's a document presumably they won't do that. You can run every app in a totally isolated sandbox but only by breaking every kind of OS integration and inter-app interaction, which will often be a bigger problem than security.
