Mass-Mailing Worm in Fake Twitter Account Invite

Symantec has posted a warning about fake Twitter invitations that are actually a mass-mailing worm. I know you guys wouldn't open an attachment like this but we all have friends and family that would so pass the word.


Invitation Card.zip is the name of the malicious attachment, and it is being identified as W32.Ackantta.B@mm, which was first discovered in an e-card virus attack in February. W32.Ackantta.B@mm is a mass-mailing worm that gathers email addresses from the compromised computer and spreads by copying itself to removable drives and shared folders.
