SurfControl has warned of an egreeting spam. The spam contains keylogging software and targets South America.

The keylogger is sent through email greeting cards. According to SurfControl it has a potential for financial risk to the receiver of the email.

Susan Larson, Vice President of SurfControl’s Adaptive Threat Intelligence service, said: “A user’s inquisitive nature can often be the weakest link in a company’s fight against malware and employees are known to open the email and follow the links believing the spam to have originated from friends or family members.” [Source]
