the latest virus, apparently

so i got this email that is very elaborate. just wanted to throw it out there. it’s obviously not legit, and contains a file called “INSTALLATION.exe”. it’s amazing how elaborate these worms are these days.

the tipper (besides the obvious that you just don’t freaking open attachments without contacting the sender first) was the fact it “came from” confidence.ms.com — ms.com is morgan stanley’s website.

the stupid thing is that these modern virii rely on social engineering, which is soooo 1990. apparently many fall for it though, still.

my favorite line?

“The names of the actual companies and products mentioned herein are the trademarks of their respective owners.”

at least they won’t get sued by microsoft.
