Today, our email honeypot captured samples containing subjects about missile strike of US killing Iranians and Iran starting World War III. There’s nothing found in the body of the email message though, just an executable attachment. This is related to a post in SANS diary, “exe malware spammed under “Missile War” subjects”. For now, we have ten samples with different md5 hashes.
