The old MMS Scam is back.

I rarely get Spam at all, via PlusNet but I've just found one from Orange (Oh no it isn't) in my Webmail Spam Folder.

This e-mail contains a voice message.
Download and listen to message in attached file.

Googled it (Other Search engines are, apparently, available) and it is a revisitation of an old Malware that infects Windows computers (Not that I use Windows anyway).

But be vigilant, chaps (And, of course, Chapesses)

(I have Unlinked the Link to the .zip above)

I've had a few similar looking zip files pretending to be Skype voicemails containing malware. The email itself looked pretty close to a genuine one (minus the personal greeting and the fact that Skype doesn't attach voicemails to emails - you need to listen to genuine voicemails in a Skype client).

Had loads, there are also some which have attachments but do not show as such. The one purporting to be from Sky, definitely has the ransomeware.

No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...
