Happy New malware


The Storm Worm gang are spreading seasonal ill-will. Security watchers
have spotted New Year greeting spam runs that attempt to direct

Anti-virus firm F-Secure warns that although the site remains free of
exploits (for now) the spam run is likely to be a prelude for a New
Year's Eve-themed Storm Worm attack.
