The newest round of Storm Worm Propagation emails has come out, and its
again, largely undetected malware.
The main URLs we are seeing at this point are:
uhavepostcard.com <== (majority use this one)
happycards2008.com <== (all of these dated today)
There are more than 100 samples using these two URLs so far. The first
was received December 24th at 12:10 PM. The most recent was received
just moments ago.

A scan of the current malware on VirusTotal just now showed a 37.5%
detection rate. The version scanned was 142,337 bytes and had the MD5
checksum of:
44dc7307c81eb9fe0a0cf9147a9932ef
Notable non-detections include F-Prot, Kaspersky, McAfee, and Sophos
Those detecting named the malware as follows:
AntiVir = TR/Rootkit.Gen
Avast = Win32:Zhelatin-ASX
BitDefender = DeepScan:Generic.Malware.FMH@mmign.55A134E9
ClamAV = Trojan.Zhelatin
DrWeb = Trojan.Spambot.2386
Fortinet = W32/Tibs.G@mm
Microsoft = Backdoor:WinNT/Nuwar.B!sys
NOD32v2 = probably a variant of Win32/Fuclip
Panda = suspicious file
Prevx1 = Stormy:Worm-All Variants
Symantec = Trojan.Peacomm
Webwasher = Trojan.Rootkit.Gen
PREVX.com says this version was first seen on December 26th and has been
reported by one user in Spain. (That's where VirusTotal is, so I guess
that's me and others using VirusTotal.)
A Christmas version of the Storm Worm Propagation email may still be lurking in in-boxes as employees return from their holiday vacations. The Christmas version primarily used the malware domain:
merrychristmasdude.com
and used these subject lines. Visiting those sites now actually downloads the same "happy-2008.exe" malware as the New Year propagation uses, since these are in reality the same infected computers acting as the web hosts.
The Christmas subject lines were:
Christmas Email
Cold Winter Nights
Feel the Holiday Spirit
Find Some Christmas Tail
Ho Ho Ho.s
How.s It Goin
I love this Carol!
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Looking for something hot this Christmas
Merry Christmas From your Secret Santa
Merry Christmas To All
Mrs. Clause
Mrs. Clause Is Out Tonight!
Santa Said, HO HO HO
Seasons Greetings
The Perfect Christmas
The Twelve Girls of Christmas
Time for a little Christmas Cheer.
Warm Up this Christmas
Your Secret Santa
The domain names for all of these are set up in a "round robin". For instance, I use "nslookup" to query "merrychristmasdude.com" ten times in a row and get the following list of IP replies:
66.78.160.196
24.126.208.180
