A new spam campaign that appeared shortly before the New Year is part of a new effort by the crew behind the Storm/Waledac botnet. The new attack emerged late last week and is fronted by a fairly lame spam campaign. Victims who click on the link in the email are directed to one of a number of compromised domains. The domains being used in the attack comprise about a dozen compromised sites right now. This, of course, installs a piece of malware on the victim s machine.
