Be aware that this morning you will likely find a copy of this new mass
mailer in your mail systems. This is a pure social engineering attack, it
contains an attachment named as a URL with a .com extension. Since .com is
also an application, it will be run as such if its double-clicked on. Check
with your AV company for updates and/or filtering criteria. If you can, be
sure you have attachment filtering enabled at your mail gateway. Outlook
Email Security Update, and Outlook 2002, both catch this attachment and
prevent it from being available for the user to click on.
Cheers,
