Note: The article is somewhat contradictory: it mentions "phishing"
but also infers that Trojan keyloggers were somehow involved.

It's probably the best description to be understood by non-technical
people.

They send out massive waves of spam mails with downloader-aap in ever
new variants attached, that then would install some keylogging trojan.

So the mail is not what one would normaly name as Phishing.
