I just got a humorous Spam message that someone else told me about earlier. Apparently it’s supposed to have some sort of Virus attached to it. Only it seems my copy has been made a bit safer. The Spam message looks a little something like this:

Subject: We have hijacked your baby

Body:

Hey We have hijacked your baby but you must pay once to us $50 000. The details we will send later…

We has attached photo of your fume

Funny topic and bad grammar all make for a good virus/spam campaign. However, you might be wondering if I am nervous about receiving such an e-mail? Well, e-mail never really makes me nervous and then again I also don’t have a baby. Although I think I would be concerned if I had a baby and someone “hijacked” it. It seems my message got nibbled on by “MIMEDefang”, which was a bit disappointing since I wanted to see the attachment. I wanted to see if the trojan included a picture of a baby or not. I guess I’ll have to wait in suspense until someone shares a copy with me.

Feel free to drop me a line with a copy of this e-mail if you have it intact - steven [at] securityzone [dot] org

Update: 11:40 PM

Got a copy of the e-mail with the attachment in place. Sorry no picture but there is an attachment called “photo.zip” that has “photo.exe” inside of it. File MD5 for the .exe is 807efe034e50327234e83bc9e6a94b32.

This is a piece of malware which then downloads more malware from the known malicious website reddii.org. Stay away from these e-mails and that domain.
