As previously noted, a new Valentines theme emerged from the Storm worm Botnet last week and copies were received as noted. This may have been a "test run" to be used closer to Valentine's Day when e-cards might be more prevelant. Further samples haven't been encountered since last week. Users should always avoid all email attachments and links where possible. The Storm worm serves up advanced malware from fast-flux servers (meaning they constantly change), that is difficult to detect and clean.
