I'm helping run a class that uses this submodule. What are the threat concerns for this virus? I imagine because it's base 64 encoded, opening it with usual code-editors won't be an issue. If we tell students to just delete the file (as we won't be using it for this particular course), will that keep their computer safe? (Assuming their antivirus didn't pick it up, or they told their antivirus to ignore it because they thought they needed it for class.)
Hi I thought I would raise this with the project.
EN-text/spam.txt contains an email that has the Base64 code of an infected attachment. The email starts on line 2235, attachment name OMO.doc.com
The infection is https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/malware-encyclopedia-description?Name=Worm:Win32/Sircam.A@mm
