I believe that I received this e-mail a few weeks ago. Although it was from a different random company.

The .jar file contained an exe which I did not dare to click/extract.

I got an email titled "OKCoin Invoice" today with the same malware (jar file) attached. It seems the malware is being widely spread.

This happend to me in fact.  Since I was with gmail, gmail even offered to open the file within gmail.  similar to how you can open pdf's and other documents by gmail without having to download 1st.

I always double check the email addreses for something suspicious, but this one seems pretty well done. In any case, I would contact the original source about them sending jar files with executables first... suspicious.

If you check the headers you'll find that the email was sent from smtp.com.

The email does NOT come from cloudhashing.

Please forward the email with a complaint to abuse@smtp.com
