SophosLabs has been intercepting an X-rated spam campaign, designed to promote hardcore porn websites.

Emails have been spammed out purporting to have an adult video attached, using a variety of names. [...]

The subject lines can vary, but each has an HTML file attached with a woman's name.

Juliet Morton represents new movie

Mona Fletcher returned with new movie

Destiny Patterson shot unbelievable episode

Rachel Ruiz made fantastic video

Destiny Ayala shows herself in clip

Amber Nichols introduced her new video

The emails themselves are very basic, and are designed merely to lure unsuspecting recipients into clicking on the attached file.

If you do click on the attached file, however, your browser will be redirected to one of a series of pornographic websites.
