Default Treacherous metadata in company documents
From http://www.h-online.com/security/fea...s-1233053.html

Quote:
Office documents can contain metadata such as names, storage locations and version information about the software used to create them. An attacker can exploit this information for targeted attacks. The free tool Foca shows how talkative a company's downloadable documents are.
