New Game Storm

The email Storm Trojan has changed again. Today, the Storm pretends to be advertising a website free game downloads. Sample subject lines include:

The email body is plain text, and as usual with Storm, contains a URL link with a simple IP address:

If you click on the link it will take you to a website that may attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in your browser.  Following on from the NFL theme from last week, the Storm gang have an authentic looking website layout.  All the links provided prompt you to download the malicious Storm Trojan (also called Zhelatin), in this case the file is called 'ArcadeWorld.exe'.

As before, be wary of clicking on links in any unsolicited email, and in light of these recent Storm attacks, be doubly suspicious of any links with an IP address.
