disguised as a personal message is “Koob.” “Koob”
is spread through messages sent through social
networking sites. The emails have subject lines like,
“You look funny on our new video.” When users try to

Another common way email users are manipulated
into opening attachments that contain viruses is with
messages that appear to come from businesses that
people frequently use. These typically include auction
sites, delivery services, and financial institutions.
One such virus is the “UPS/FedEx Delivery Failure.”
This email comes with a message informing the
user that a package he or she had supposedly sent
could not be delivered. Users are told to click on
the attachment for a refund. In reality, of course, the
attachment unleashes a virus.
