I've got more like a 100 a day, but that's probably because the list of
idiots that have my address on file is longer than yours... :)

Interesting to note that this thing exploits an Outlook HTML preview
vulnerability that's presumed fixed since March 2001. Even when I refuse
to believe that people can be thick enough not to patch the gaping holes
in Windows security in over two years, I guess that means that people
are generally thick enough to execute unknown attachments.

The world is coming to an end, save your buffers.
