Hi all
I received a suspicious email today, purporting to come from Covance (a 
web search showed Covance to be an apparently genuine organisation doing 
contract clinical research on drug development and animal testing). The 
text of the email was:
"Purchase Order, 11300 / 0002323808, has been Dispatched. Please detach 
and print the attached Purchase Order."
The attachment was a .tgz file containing a 6.2kB javascript file - a 
method of attack which I haven't seen before. Needless to report that I 
didn't attempt to run said javascript file! Has anyone else come across 
this method of attack?
