Sophos is warning users of a widespread e-mail posing as a message of love in an attempt to install malicious codes to your computer. The company says that the people behind the Dorf Trojan has deliberately spammed out a romantic e-mail campaign, luring unsuspecting computer users to dangerous websites.
Senior Technology Consultant at Sophos, Graham Cluley said, "This heart attack has been spammed out on a huge scale by an organised gang hell-bent on stealing access to your PC for criminal purposes. It seems the hackers were too impatient to wait for St. Valentine's Day this year before plucking on heart strings in their attempt to infect the unwary. People will be truly love sick if they let the malicious code run on their PC."
Subject lines used in the attack are many and varied but all pose as a romantic message. Some of them include "Falling In Love with You", "Special Romance", "You're In My Thoughts", "Sent with Love", "Our Love Will Last", "Our Love is Strong", "Your Love Has Opened", "You're the One", "A Toast My Love" and "Heavenly Love".
