Hi,
I've just gotten this spam, which contains the attachement
"eurocalculator.exe". Since I don't have any windows machines
around and know better than to execute random scripts I get,
I've limited myself to running strings on the file and I got
the following (and more):
and a bit further along the file a whole bunch of HTML crap
(is this standard BO2K or a custom thing for this one??):
Network Neighborhood ....
I also found a whole bunch of SMTP related strings, but maybe
those are BO2K related too.
-------------------------
In short, it seems that somebody is doing yet another attempt
at spreading BO2K through email ... possibly with the script
spreading itself, but I've only done a quick view of the file
and haven't looked at it in any detail ;)
regards,
Rik
