Subject: [Declude.Virus] W32/Frethem-Fam


FYI, there is a new virus out, that Sophos has alerted us to, called 
W32/Fretham-Fam (no other AV companies that was get alerts from, including 
McAfee, have sent out alerts yet).  This may be become widespread because 
of the "social engineering" aspect of it -- it pretends to have a Special 
Password attached, which it does -- but it supposedly needs to be decrypted 
with the attach file.  The .EXE may run automatically in Outlook when the 
E-mail is viewed (not sure which OE vulnerability it uses).  There are 
several variants of it already.

More details can be found at 
http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32frethemfam.html .  The attached 
files are decrypt-password.exe and password.txt, and it has a subject of 
"Re: Your password!".
