Yesterday, an e-mail was sent to a mailing list I'm subscribed to with a
subject of 'CRACK' and an attachment of 'crack.reg', after looking into
it, you can see that the headers were forged, and the attachment edits
your ICQ preferences in the registry and makes your default server a
dialup victim/client in Russia.

Once again, the problem here is people opening attachments without taking
a look at them.  Thank God this isn't a self-replicating e-mail, but it
presents a Denial-of-Service attack against this Russian dialup. In
conclusion...heads up!
