An email from 'Skin Wand' aka 'wrinklewand@m4.baristamedia.com' attempts to do a bit more than just phishing for your compliments, if you catch what I am referring to here. Back-end magic seems to try and hook into any Microsoft Access, Powerpoint or other datapharms that could expose potentially hazardous materials to children in the MidWest. Take a look at the body of this message.

And that is not just whistling Dixie, no? If you 'click here' the email spam will whisk you off to a website that features explicit photography of whale vaginas. We cannot go into the details here, but let's just say this gentle reminder that 'whales are mammals too' goes one or two steps too far according the FCC, the NHL and The United Negro College Fund.

More details to follow up at Italian Renaissance IT Solutions. Uninstall information and beta release of the SIT { Spam Identification Test } to come.

An Email from "Skin Care" with the Subject line "Complimentary Dove(R) Body Nourishers with 24-hour Nutri-Serum" sent out over the last 48 hours seems to contain several Javascript and NHL components aimed at phishing the end-user's system. Here is what the email looks like in your email app inbox ::

If you get an email from Dove, Skin Care or Skinny Lefkowitz within the next week or so ... DO NOT click here ... I repeat DO NOT click here. Clicking anywhere on the email will completely expose the internal mainframe underbelly to some very evil teens operating out of Danbury Connecticut. The information they gather can be resold and put on several marketing lists, potentially increasing your overall spam intake by an additional 30%. These extra emails may actually be 99.99% pure, however, who needs more clutter, right?

Clicking on this email will also result in worms and trojans, and also worms wearing trojans ... that's right ... the infamous 'clean virus' will be injected onto your system. This particular worm, known as 'Squeaky" activates other worms that may be installed on your machine and dormant. There is no instruction, at this point, to provide uninstall information for Squeaky. More news will be reported as the details surface.

The [ SIT ] spam identification test is still being developed as we speak.
OEE aims to educate, identify & eradicate — because education is always approximately three-quarters of the problem. ::
