Full Disclosure: RE: [ok] Possible Virus/Trojan

["Todd Towles" <toddtowles () brookshires com>]

Hey guys, 

I was able to finally get the file out of Outlook via add-on. The add-on
moves file types from Level 1 to Level 2. Anyways, it wasn't detected as a
virus and it is only 35 KBs in size. Kinda small. 

I planned on breaking it apart..but I went to the bar last night. 

I have sent it to a couple of people, maybe it was just someone messing with
me.

Subject: Osama Found Hanged

Content:
Osama Bin Ladin was found hanged by two CNN journalists early Wedensday
evening. As evidence they took several photos, some of which i have
included here. As yet, this information has not hit the headlines due
to Bush wanting confirmation of his identity but the journalists have
released some early photos over the internet..

xxxxxxxxx.x-y.net/OsamaFoundDead.zip

The URL points to a zip fil that contains a small backdoor/trojan in the
HackArmy family.

Yes, it has also been posted as Brittney nude and stuff like that.
