"Anyone stupid enough to run an screensaver executable that's packaged up in a zip file titled as a resume deserves everything they get."

Whist I'd tend to agree with your sentiment, I'll point out that a large number of those idiots work in the same places as a lot of the commentards here. And the idiot will not be tasked with mopping up the mess. It will far more likely fall to the folks that read this site regularly and comment about how stupid these end users are.

That said -- they mention a compromised wordpress site. And I'm pretty sure there are some sigs to add to the blacklists.
