We are seeing many of these messages coming in from all over the place to random if not dictionary recipients.

 

The message is designed to look like a delivery failure but closer examination point to other motives.

 

The majority of them all com from dynamic IP space like Road Runner, or Earthlink, AOL, etc and sent by The Bat so this looks very suspect, in all cases the attached file is ‘fail.hta’

 

You might want to add this file to your blocked attachment’s just in case.
