Reader’s slice of the targeted attack "market" climbed from 29% in 2008 to almost 50% last year, but at its pace so far this year, exploits aimed at Adobe’s software are on track to account for nearly two out of every three attacks. In 2008, exploits of those three Microsoft Office applications made up 71% of all targeted attacks. The most attacked software seems to be from the company called Adobe.
