Bogus Airline Tickets

You may get an email soon with an airline ticket invoice attached. The email states the tickets are attached. Unfortunately, the attachment is not a document but an executable file which installs a worm on the hapless user’s computer which downloads more malicious software. The email infers the recipient’s credit card has been charged for the tickets…scaring some to open the attachment. The attachment is named e-tickets.doc.exe. For many computers, the .exe will not show up if it is saved since the default of Windows explorer is to hide well-known extensions.
