Hackers have hijacked your baby
A despicable new spam attack is fooling people into installing a Trojan Horse by claiming to have "hijacked" their baby.
The email arrives with the subject line "We have hijacked your baby" and demands a $50,000 ransom for the return of the child.
It then claims to have a photo of the baby attached to the email. The file, entitled photo.zip, is in fact the Troj/Resex-Fam Trojan, which drops malware on to the affected PC. Aside from the odd terminology of "hijacking" a baby, the email provides other telltale signs that it might not be genuine, with the message reading: "We have attached photo of your fume".
