[CQ-Contest] Vicious CQWW Virus

[Bruce Sawyer]

I recently received email from somebody identified as "DXCC Robot" and
containing a very suspicious looking attachment.  The actual email address
was unreplyable at mail.ru.  The message body began as follows:

"Thank you for your participation in the CQ WW contest. Your electronic log
submission is appreciated.  Unfortunately, our robot was unable to process
your Cabrillo log file
as submitted because it appears to be missing some critical information.
Below you will find a list of the problems that were encountered in
attempting to process your log, as well as a
corresponding set of remedies..."

Then followed the attachment, which was named "All-bdxcc.xls.scr".
Needless to say, I routed this thing to the bit bucket without opening it.
But I'll  have to admit, this is one of the more clever ruses I've seen to
get me to open an attachment.
