Highly unlikely. The code that launches is a script to collect the required information and save it on the rogue's system.
I tried to run the script on a "mule" system here at work this a.m., but the site is already down.
(interesting... the source of the code in the e-mail I received came from an ISP in Chile... and traced to a generic porn site there... this is why crimes like this are so hard to prosecute, since there are no political boundaries to these offenses... currently, the largest source of junk e-mails come from mainland China, because it's cheap to use them to send out millions of messages).
Bill gives good advice... although I see no residue in the code, it's a good idea to run an AV check with up-to-date definitions. |
