“Valentines’ Day” Storm Trojan - Beware!

February 11th, 2008 by AndyAtHull

As with every holiday and occasion in the world, guys behind malware will always create something to fool you with. Playing on emotions you could say.

The next malware to be careful about is a “Valentines’ Day” Storm Trojan. A variant of the Storm Worms. Security Cadets reader and author of WinPatrol, Bill Pytlovany, goes into detail on his blog to watch out for the following subjects in an e-mail in the run up to valentines day:

  • Our Love is Free
  • Happy Valentines day
  • I Would Dream
  • Hugging My Pillow
  • Inside My Heart
  • Sending You My Love
  • The Dance of Love
  • Eternal Love
  • A Rose for my Love

There are likely to be more subjects in the run up to valentines day. So these next few days when you are looking at your email, just bare in mind the subject titles above.

Remember, do not click on anything suspicious and always report suspicious items to the relevent guys. You can contact us or post details in our forum.
