Indeed. But this isn't a phishing scam at all. It's a
mass mailer virus - one of the Bagle variants, by the
look.

I was looking at the social implications only; has someone actually
analyzed the payload?

I would not be surprised to see shortly a real phishing propagated by a
slow-spreading mass mailer virus (this might be a proof-of-concept).
