Storm Worm - Invitations to become club members

Lightning

The highly polymorphic storm worm has now been very quickly re-engineered.  Messages now attempt to invite folks into various social network clubs found on the Internet   This new attack is widespread, as all most 2 million infected users are participating in a HUGE Botnet that spams out countless copies.  This new threat is circulating extensively. The 1st sample message is tempting, as I really like cats, but I think I'll decline this invitation

QUOTE: Looks like Storm moved to a new mutation. The e-mails are now inviting users to become members in various "clubs"
