Look Out For Untrusted Happy New Year E-card Links

Shadowserver Foundation is warning about a new malicious botnet that reminds of Storm worm. Links to malicious domains are sent in emails disguised as e-card notifications. Some email subjects that have been used in those scam messages:
Greeting for you!
Greeting you with heartiest New Year wishes
Greetings to You
Happy New Year greetings e-card is waiting for you
Happy New Year greetings for you
Happy New Year greetings from your friend
Have a happy and colorful New Year!
l want to share Greeting with you (Shadowserver note: the first letter is an L)
New Year 2011 greetings for you
You have a greeting card
You have a New Year Greeting!
You have received a greetings card
You've got a Happy New Year Greeting Card!
