It's worthless w/out details.

The details are probably following:
password protected archive attached to mail
letter contains password and description like "check this fun game i found"
as it came from someone you know, you run it without extra questions
So as usual malware writers use weakest part of computer security - specifically user.

For now, I think only very stupid people do so.

no, "very stupid people" is a label reserved for those who download .rar files containing exes from people left on message boards and then run them...

oh wait a sec...!
