Is the below email a standard scam, or is anyone else seeing this? It contained a word doc with an embedded pdf which delivered the koobface virus. Detected by 16/42 on Virus Total. The reason I ask is that there is a possibility this was a spear phish, targeting high level executives. Made it right past spam filters without issue. Fortunately no one was fooled, but maybe something to be aware of. Full headers or virus sample can be provided if anyone is curious.
