Submission + - Massive spam shot of 'Storm Trojan'
jcatcw writes: Postini has already counted nearly 5 million copies of the spam in the last 24 hours, and calculated that the run currently accounts for 87% of all malware being spread through e-mail. It's the largest attack in the last 12 months, and more than three times the volume of the two biggest in recent memory: a pair of blasts in December and January . The spam carries a ZIP file attachment posing as a patch with subjects of Worm Alert!, Worm Detected, Spyware Detected!, or Virus Activity Detected.
