Recently, we reported how HTML attachments were being used in various spam campaigns such as phishing attacks, email harvesting attacks, and 419 scams. Spammers have included a few more file formats, again in an attempt to escape anti-spam filters. As experienced previously with HTML attachments, these new file formats are also getting used in several different spam categories.

When a Web page is saved as a Web archive in Internet Explorer, it gets saved to a Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension HTML format with an MHT extension. Further information can be found here. An attached MHT file works similar to an HTML file and opens a legitimate-looking Web page.
