The Threat Research and Content Engineering (TRACE) team at email and Internet content security provider, Marshal, has identified that when the unsuspecting user clicks on that link and visits the website, various browser exploits are attempted, and a link is presented to download a file called ecard.exe – aka the Storm Trojan.

4th Of July Celebration
Americas B-Day
Independence Day At The Park
God Bless America
Celebrate Your Nation
4th Of July Party
The message looks like this:
