Flame Storm botnet recruiting again

The most common title for the mails seems to be "Happy 2008" and they link to a page that asks you to download an executable - which starts off a chain of 5 other components to recruit your machine into a botnet.

I am doing what I can to get these taken offline for now but please be careful. Storm is not dead yet.

Blues
