I'm actually not convinced that the encrypted zip file technique was
ever very successful. There's no way to prove it was. All those worms
sent out in this way were also sent out in unencrypted form.

I've asked the malware companies about this over the years and never got
an answer, and I think it's because they don't know, and they can't
know.
