I received email today from BLUECROSS with a .zip file attached, I immediately deleted it!

I recieved one of these at my work email.

I'm very surprised it made it through.

Most of these things are caught real early and deleted before they ever reach my inbox.

Anyone who still gets infected by opening attatchments is just plain stupid.

I've gotten some that are actually executables in the body of my email message. I caught one and tried to dissect it, but lacking the proper tools, I finally nuked it. Just opening that email would have launched it. Despicable things. It was probably a keystroke logger that would report back to its master in an attempt to harvest financial userIDs and passwords.
