It’s success is undoubtedly related to the clever social engineering that it uses to entice people to open the attached .zip file.

It warns the user that their computer is infected and their email will be cut off if they don’t install the attached “patch”.

Ironically, the “patch” actually installed the Storm Worm Trojan, and the user will indeed be infected.
