Yes

The PDF file problem is probably part of a massive "spear-phishing," campaign. Unfortunately, it has hit .mil networks pretty hard.

Apparently they sneeked in through Java and or Flash

Flash can be a big vulnerability. When you install flash, you probably also install a P2P application called Octoshape, which makes your computer act as a P2P server for streaming video, and reducing bandwidth use on servers. That much is seemingly harmless...but it can be used for some pretty nefarious purposes.

For those of you who are having problems with the DoD Certificates, you can download them from DISA at http://dodpki.c3pki.chamb.disa.mil/rootca.html.

Once you download them (4 files currently), you'll need to double click on the file. Certmgr will load. Expand the folder on the left side of certmgr until you are in the "certificates" folder. On the right side, you will see the various certificates which are part of this file. Right click on the certificate, click open, then click "Install Certificate". Repeat for each of the other certs and remaining files.

This will stop 99% of your DoD certificate trust issues.
