Jolin worm

I just typed “jolin scan” into Google’s search engine and among the top results was a Symantec security response page. It turns out that someone has been trying to lure people to open a script attachement by claiming that it’s a nude picture of Jolin Tsai (Taiwanese singer that you can find many posts about on this site). The worm is old news. I just thought it was funny.
Almost as funny as Symantec’s description:
This script is intended to be a mass-mailing worm […] [The samples] were not able to spread due to bugs in the worm’s code.
So when the guy finally got an idea how to get people to open the file, the script doesn’t work.
