FBI warns of Valentines Day Storm Worm virus
The FBI and the Internet Crime Complaint Center today said that with the Valentine's Day holiday approaching, users should be on the lookout for spam e-mails spreading Storm Worm malware.

The Storm Worm virus has capitalized on various holidays in the last year by sending millions of e-mails advertising an e-card link within the text of the spam e-mail. Valentine's Day has been identified as the next target. Such email directs the recipient to click on a link to retrieve the electronic greeting card (e-card). Once the user clicks on the link, malware is downloaded to the Internet connected device and causes it to become infected and part of the Storm Worm botnet. A botnet is a network of compromised machines under the control of a single user.
