The Valentine’s Day assault has become something of an annual tradition.

So this year Matt Hines rounds up all the “threats that may assail you on this day of lovers and lechery.”

And there are plenty of them. It’s not just the CyberLover attack, no, this year’s list is long and distinguished.

“Rather than assuming that some long-lost love, or someone still close to your heart has put together a gripping tribute detailing their affection for you via e-card, e-mail or Web link … think twice before opening anything unsolicited, because there’s a good chance that it’s a trap,” Hines advises.

Gotta love the romance.
