Spammers are targeting both loved-up and single Australians with Valentine’s Day-themed malware that tricks users into downloading what look like legitimate Valentine’s Day e-cards but are cleverly disguised computer viruses. Phishing attempts have also been reported. Email attacks contain attachments like “meandyou.exe” and “onlyyou.exe” which have the potential to spread to everyone the victim knows via unauthorised access to address books within their email client, social networking or instant messaging applications.
