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
_http://koreaweb.ws/pipermail/koreanstudies_koreaweb.ws/2009-August/007365.h

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/_ 
(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
