I got a blank-with-attachment today from a "marktplaats.nl" addy.
The sending path included two "wanadoo.nl" nodes, and IP checking
with Spade verified their identity.
Whatever text was all in Dutch, and the one web page ref I could
find, likewise all Dutch.
The attach had a .htm.pif filename suffix, but being in Juno that
would not get it flagged as suspicious by, say, Zonealarm.
I saved the attach and virus-scanned it, that came up empty.
Then I thought, ZA will still say =something= if I open it, and
surely it did:
"Do you want JAAF.exe to act as a server?"
Hell no, I thought, and nixed it.
It installed a JAAF.exe in c:\windows\system, and OAA.exe in my
StartUp folder. They also came up clean by virus standards.
Must be a porn dialer, calling Europe somewhere at astronomical
rates. Idiots...
