It goes to a stripe page where they will charge you $99 and links to a sample zip file of excel files that are not malicious according to virus total. The file was scanned two months ago, but I call bull on this.

This is interesting that nobody has flagged it. If I opened the excel file, am I going to get bit or am I better off opening it in google docs under their spreadsheets?

I sent the thing to Trend Micro, maybe they’ll be interested in this one. Very interesting.
