Version Summary:

Cisco Security Intelligence Operations has detected significant activity on June 14, 2012.

 

Description
 

Cisco Security Intelligence Operations has detected significant activity related to German-language spam e-mail messages that claim to contain purchase details for two mobile phones for the recipient.  The text in the e-mail message attempts to convince the recipient to open the .zip attachment and view the contract details, including billing information.  However, the .zip attachment contains a malicious .com file that, when executed, attempts to infect the system with malicious code.

E-mail messages that are related to this threat (RuleID4255) may contain the following files:

Einzelverbindungsnachweis.zip
Einzelverbindungsnachweis 06.2012 .com

The size of the Einzelverbindungsnachweis 06.2012 .com file in the Einzelverbindungsnachweis.zip attachment is unavailable.  The MD5 checksum, which is a unique identifier of the executable, is also unavailable.

The following text is a sample of the e-mail message that is associated with this threat outbreak:
