A strange link I got in my [junk] mail:

Reuters-Singapore: Terror attack in Singapore:


"Powerful explosion burst in Singapore this morning.

At least 12 people have been killed and more than 40 wounded in a bomb blast near market in Singapore. Authorities suggested that explosion was caused by "dirty" bomb. Police said the bomb was detonated from close by using electric cables. "It was awful" said the eyewitness about blast that he heard from his shop. "It made the floor shake. So many people were running"
Until now there has been no claim of responsibility."


Given I hadn't heard about this through CNA's Twitter feed, I was very puzzled.

A cursory glance revealed that the "embedded video" was a link to a suspiciously-titled "save.exe" (doubtless, a malicious program of some sort), but I didn't want to bother installing a virtual OS to investigate.

The methods used to spread malign payloads are getting stranger and stranger.
