New Year, Recycled Greeting Cards

The storm authors have made up for their lack of creativity by registering a bunch of domains and quickly changing the filename. Additionally a false name has been added as a comment to the html source:
Your download should begin shortly. If your download does not start in
approximately 15 seconds,<br>
you can <!-- a href="fck2008.exe" !--><script language="javascript">
<!-- a href="fck2009.exe" -->
document.write( unescape(
'%3C%61%20%68%72%65%66%3D%22%68%61%70%70%79%6E%65%77%79%65%61%72%32%30%30%38%2E%65%78%65%22%3E'
) );
The javascript actually reads:
<a href="happynewyear2008.exe">
This was probably done in an attempt to identify automated scripts that parse the page for links, then crawl those links.

The following domains are still active (the other domains registered through ESTDOMAINS were suspended December 28th):
newyearcards2008.com
happycards2008.com
uhavepostcard.com
merrychristmasdude.com
newyearwithlove.com
familypostcards2008.com
freshcards2008.com
hellosanta2008.com
happy2008toyou.com
happysantacards.com
hohoho2008.com

serving the following files:
happynewyear2008.exe
happy_2008.exe

sony.exe
