Exemplary action!
So the recent e-mail subject header tells me (as does Babel Fish). The body says Lese selbst (according to Babel Fish, "vintage") and I'm given a link to who knows where.
According to an article on Yahoo! News, these new spam e-mails "bear German-language subject lines that translate to phrases like "Multicultural = multicriminal," the messages point to racist German Web sites and news articles that could be used to support anti-immigrant views."
"We have seen a trend in which worm authors are using spam not to hawk goods, but as a tool for political propaganda," said Scott Chasin, chief technical officer for the anti-virus firm MX Logic.
Chasin and other experts said the messages were sent by computers that had been infected with a new variant of the Sober worm, which turns computers into "zombies" that can be used as a base for attacks.
Just a word to the wise, (as if you didn't know this) and as a friendly reminder: be sure to always scan your e-mails, don't open any attachments that are from an unfamiliar sender, and certainly don't click on any links that tell you exemplary action is vintage.
