US-CERT is aware of an increase in Storm Worm related activity. The latest activity is centered around messages related to the New Year. This Trojan is spread via an unsolicited email message that contains a link to a malicious web site. When the malicious link is followed, the Trojan may attempt to exploit an unpatched vulnerability or continue to rely on social engineering to download and install the file on the user's system.
