That this is a confused report about the attack which involved a file
name xxxxx.jpg.scr, where the double extension was supposed to mask
the fact that the file was a trojan script and not the innocent jpg it
seemed to be. Early versions of TB could be fooled by this under some
circumstance (I can't recall exactly what they were), but that
loophole has long been plugged.
