new crop of Viruses and MalWare

CNN has a very good writeup on the new crop of MalWare (Spyware, Viruses, Trojans, Worms, etc...) coming out. bq. "The good old days of script kiddies and geeks are well gone," said Pete Simpson, manager of Clearswift's ThreatLab division. "These are criminal gangs, and the motive is clearly profit." Nasty stuff. Again, do not open an attachment unless you verified that the sender sent it to you. Do not visit the site of any eCards, no matter how 'cute' they are.
