    Mytob charasterics include fairly almost the description you've pointed out.

    You can read a extensive explanation over here.

    Hello Paul,

    I don't ask about Mytob, I ask about ESET's report that include the phrase 'Accepted Password' ..

    Hello,

    accepted-password.zip would have been the name of the attachment in the infected email.

    Paul was referring to this section of that article if I'm not mistaken.

    "The attached file consists of a base name followed by the extension ZIP. The worm may optionally create double extensions where the first extension is DOC, TXT or HTM and the final extension is BAT, CMD, PIF, SCR, EXE or ZIP. The base filenames are randomly chosen from:

    updated-password
    email-password
    new-password
    password
    approved-password
    account-password
    accepted-password
    important-details
    account-details
    email-details
    account-info
    document
    readme
    account-report
    <random characters>

    The zip file will contain the worm with double extension. The first extension will be one of DOC, HTM, TXT followed by spaces and the second extension is EXE, SCR or PIF. "
