"We caught you naked antivirus!"

Tuesday April 15, 2008
The Storm worm is once again resorting to scare tactics to trick users into downloading malware. This version of the Storm email has a subject line that reads: "we caught you naked %recipient%! check the video". The email message body reads: "Watch it :)".

The email includes a link that masquerades as a Google url. In reality, the link points to the attacker's site (a .gr domain). The downloaded file, video.exe, is a copy of the Storm worm, also known as Nuwar or Zhelatin.
