SophosLabs are intercepting a major new malicious spam campaign which is disguising itself as a greeting card from “someone who cares about you”.
The messages, which have been sent to email addresses around the globe, typically read similar to the following:
Good afternoon,
You have just received a postcard Greeting from someone who cares about you..Please find zip file with your Greeting Card attached to this mail!
Thank you for using www.Greetings.com services !!!
Please take this opportunity to let your friends hear about us by sending them a postcard from our collection !
The messages come complete with an attached ZIP file (Greeting_Card.zip) which contains a malicious payload, designed to infect Windows computers.
