There is a new email phishing scam impersonating Skype. The subject of the email reads “You received a new message from Skype voicemail service.”

The scam email spoofs the address “Skype Communications” with the attachment Skype_Voice_Message-7776C24212.zip. In reality the attachment contains an executable, Skype_Voice_M_497564___random_numbers___872345.wav.exe, that installs a Trojan. The body of the email reads:

This is an automated email, please don’t reply.
