Graham Cluley's Blog reports the latest major spam attack wrought by hackers still pretends to be in the form of an unsolicited CV or resume, but uses slightly different wording from its previous incarnation.
A typical email reads as follows:
Subject: Please look my CV. Thank you.
Attached file: My_Resume_6213.zip or My_Resume_317.zip
Message body:
Hello!
I have figured out that you have an available job.
I am quiet intrested in it. So I send you my resume,
Looking forward to your reply.
Thank you.
Presumably you wouldn't employ this person because of their good spelling or grammar.
Of course, opening the attached ZIP file (My_Resume_6213.zip or My_Resume_317.zip) is not a good idea as despite first impressions it doesn't really include a Curriculum Vitae, but instead carries a malware-infected file.
