Malicious emails contain fake Youtube link

US-CERT says that new variations of the Storm Worm have been appearing in email messages as fake YouTube video links.

The emails arrive with headers such as, "LOL, that is too cool..."

The email claims to be a video of you that has been discovered. The message contains a fake link to youtube.com. The link acually sends you to a malicious website that downloads and runs malware.
