Waledac Valentine's Day Theme

Valentine's Day is coming and that gives also coders of malicious software a chance spread their creations. Websense warns about new Waledac variant that is spread under Valentine's Day theme.

User is sent spam message notifying that there's an eCard waiting. Message contains a link where the card can be seen. "Once a user opens the URL in the spammed message, he is redirected to a site with 2 puppies and a love heart to give a Valentines theme. The user is then enticed to download a Valentines kit to prepare a present for a loved one, which is a new Waledac variant", writes Websense.
