"A new spam outbreak attributed to the Storm Botnet has been hitting the Internet since Jun 18, 2008. The message warns of earthquakes hitting well known sites around the world causing significant destruction and loss of life and is being distributed from IP addresses hosted around the world. This site claims a quake measured in at 9.0 on the Richter scale has caused casualties and threatens the preparations for the upcoming Olympics hosted in China. The page contains links to a supposed video that actually downloads the Storm worm.
"Variants of the attack mention similar incidents at the Eiffel Tower in France, Giza pyramids in Egypt and Stonehenge in UK as the baits in spam emails during the first days of its outbreak.
"These types of spam messages are reminiscent of previous Storm attacks that use timely events such as Holidays (Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day) or the Super Bowl to lure mail recipients to act."
(((I didn't get the wreck of Giza, Stonehenge or the Eiffel Tower, but the destruction of Beijing has been showing up in my email with some regularity.)))
