If you received an email from "Facebook Service" telling you that your password had been changed because a spam message had been sent from your account, would you believe it?

Well, cybercriminals certainly hope you would as they're spamming out malicious emails today attempting to trick unsuspecting users into opening an attached Trojan horse.

Opening the attached file is obviously a very bad idea - as it will infect you with a Trojan horse that attempts to communicate with a website hosted in Russia.
