The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) published an interesting advisory here: http://www.ncua.gov/news/press_releases/2009/MR09-0825a.htm Member credit unions evidently are reporting receiving letters which include two CDs. The letters claim to originate form the NCUA and advertises the CDs as training materials. However, it appears that the letter is a fake and the CDs include malware. We have not heard about this scheme affecting any other targets, but please let us know if you see something like this. Malware delivery via USPS has certainly been suggested before. ------ |

There must have been a contest to see how many federal laws you can break at once

These are unsophisticated, but very effective. There are still so many businesses that don't lock down their workstations. I did something similar recently for a penetration test with a high rate of success.

Wow, the system worked! The malware got noticed, the word was spread rapidly through the industry and the appropriate agencies also also got alerts out.Pretty cool!
