Storm Worm Gets Personal

I have to admit that as much as I am tired of talking about the Storm Worm, it keeps giving such great fodder for discussion. Over the past year we have seen fake video clips for current events and e-cards. Now Storm has expanded its horizons and has started sending out one-liner spam with the prospect of a better life between the sheets.

Some of the sample subject lines that we have seen from this new Storm variant include:

-- why you're so unhappy with your bedroom life?

-- Ladies and Gents want to have perfect nights!

-- Become a super-lover-2008!

-- What you will learn from us will change your sensual life for better!

All of the samples that we have received have had one-liner spam where the message body is sometimes the same as the subject line (many times not) followed by a URL pointing to a random IP address like hxxp://61,79,172,152/rqokyj/ (modified so you can't actually click the link).

As if we don't see enough health related spam already, now Storm has jumped on the bandwagon as well. I guess if it works for the spammers...
