Interesting note on Mongolia on the bottom.

Also good to see that, at least for a time, Gmail was able to detect infected files (see the Mongolian feedback numbers 10-12)

Hmm, I'm not sure if that's Gmail detecting an infected file. I'm pretty sure Gmail just blocks .exe and .bat files altogether (even in .zip archives).

The file in question was a PDF - can it detect that?
