Introduction
I got an email on February 15th, 2004 telling me I had received an e-card from someone at 123greetings.com. The email looked a little bit suspicious, since the sender of the ecard (kissmytearsx@comcast.net) was someone I didn't recognize, and the URL to view the card showed the root domain of 123greetings.com. However, being the lonely geek I am, I clicked on the link hoping that I had a secret admirer who had emailed me a card for valentines day...
The page opened in my browser, but nothing happened. Lucky for me, I wasn't using Internet Explorer so I was saved. A closer look at the email and URL revealed an attempt to use IE exploits to hijack the computer and install a trojan that steals sensitive information including passwords and bank account numbers.
It has been pointed out to me that the email says that you sent a card, not received one. I should have noticed this and realized I hadn't sent any cards to anyone.
