Dear friends and colleagues,
You may recall my warning last August about emails
which purport to offer information on North Korea, but
in fact contain a virus. See the KS thread about this at

I hadn't seen any such nasties for a while, but now they are back.
NKEconwatch has been targeted, as has at least one person in Seoul.
See _http://www.nkeconwatch.com/2010/03/19/someone-is-not-playing-nice/_

So as ever, be very careful what downloads you open from strangers
- even those offering info or interviews.
Cheers
Aidan
