Watch out for headlines and e's with posted subjects that are tip-offs. (news.zdnet.com)

At this time, the notice is just about 2 hours old....you sleep; I surf.

517662 2007-01-20 16:44:00 More info on it . . . a different source . ( . updatexp . com/trojan-small-dam . html" target="_blank">www . updatexp . com) This one is a trojan with the same hook .

UK anti-virus firm Sophos reports that the malware accounts for one in every 200 emails it has monitored over the last 12 hours . Two in every three reports of malware tracked by Sophos on Friday involved reports of the Trojan .

Some of the phishing lines:


- 230 dead as storm batters Europe .
- British Muslims Genocide
- Naked teens attack home director .
- A killer at 11, he's free at 21 and kill again!
- U . S . Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has kicked German Chancellor Angela Merkel

. . . and part of the second wave:


- Radical Muslim drinking enemies's (sic) blood .
- Chinese missile shot down Russian satellite
- Chinese missile shot down Russian aircraft
- Chinese missile shot down USA aircraft
- Chinese missile shot down USA satellite
- Russian missile shot down USA aircraft
- Russian missile shot down USA satellite
- Russian missile shot down Chinese aircraft
- Russian missile shot down Chinese satellite
- Saddam Hussein safe and sound!
- Saddam Hussein alive!

I think this stuff really appeals to the Sun and the Daily Mirror-type readers . . but ya never know .
