Warning! Hoax Osama Photos carry a malicious virus
Malicious hackers are spreading the Hackarmy Trojan through emails pretending to contain news about the death of Osama bin Laden. Seems guaranteed to lure a large number of misguided users into reading it.
Although this particular form of the malicious email started circulating in July 2005, it is a repackaged version of a similar Osama-based lure that hit the Internet in June 2005 and purported to offer news of his capture.
The email reads
Osama Found Hanged
Osama Bin Ladin was found hanged by two CNN journalists early Wedensday evening. As evidence they took several photos, some of which i have included here. As yet, this information has not hit the headlines due to Bush wanting confirmation of his identity but the journalists have released some early photos over the internet.. Followed by a URL.
