Researchers Warn of .Zip File Spam Surge
Found on eWEEK on Thursday, 26 August 2010
Security researchers are reporting an uptick in malware hidden in .zip files being sent out in spam to Web users.
Unlike many of the other FedEx-related malware attacks in the past, the e-mails' message about a failed delivery comes in the form of an image rather than text - possibly in an attempt to avoid anti-spam filters.
Actually, this is good. Rejecting emails with zip attachments solves that problem easily.
