BEWARE of new email virus subj/body

I never open attachments myself...

It seems like virus writers are finally incorporating a bit more knowledge of the engrish language into their emailed social engineering attempts...

The subject & bodies of the viruses we recieve started changing today... I think a lot of people will be tricked by some of these:


Subject: scanned by norton antivirus
Body: you cannot hide yourself! (see photo)
Attachment: material.zip


Subject: Returned Mail
Body: Information about you
Attachment: misc.zip

Subject: YOUR ACCOUNT HAS EXPIRED
Body: I have your password
Attachment: notes.zip


They mix up the subjects, bodies & attachments of course.... but as of today I noticed the new ones that are even more deceiving.
