A classic example of why the storm worm has been so successful. The subject lines of this variation play on peoples emotions and their desire to be wanted / loved. This will be successful again as valentines day comes around and people expect to get electronic valentines.

People have resist the urge to click on something like this that tugs on their heart strings.

Storm Worm encore. A Trojan repackaged yet again. This incarnation of the "Dorf" Trojan sends out emails posing as messages of love in an attempt to lure unsuspecting users to dangerous websites. The emails sport subject lines such as "Falling In Love with You," "Special Romance," and "You're In My Thoughts." The body of the email contains a link to a website that is actually one of the many compromised computers in the worldwide Storm botnet. The website displays a large red heart, while installing malware onto the visitor's computer.
