...The bug is particularly tricky, Nolan said, because the attachment arrives with a Shockwave Flash icon that passes for the real thing...

It still does amaze me that people open attachments from people they don't know. I don't even open them from my brother or friends unless I know what it is LOL. I told my brother (who is in Germany and gets emails from all over the world)--that sending 'unknown' emails is like sleeping with someone who's history you don't know--you don't know where its been or what it 'has'.

What surprises me even more is that there are tons of perverts ready to open stuff like this hoping to see a little T&A.
