Microsoft warned on Friday that the software giant has received a single

The warning comes the same week that Microsoft fixed a flaw in Word that
had been used in targeted attacks that, at least on the face, appear
similar. The software giant said its Office team is currently investigating
the flaw and reiterated that customers should be cautious of attachments."
