Valentine Caution

This is not what I was expecting to post first on Valentine's Day, but evidently is a real scam:

Be on the lookout for suspicious emails on Thursday. The FBI issued a warning yesterday that they expect spam e-mails spreading something called the Storm Worm to be sent on Valentines Day. The e-mail directs the recipient to click on a link to retrieve an electronic greeting card. Clicking the link installs "malware" and allows others to use your computer to do various bad things. For more info see the FBI press release. As always, be wary of any e-mail received from an unknown sender. Do not open any unsolicited e-mail and do not click on any links in emails unless they are from someone you know and trust.
