Warning


From Ben Smith's blog.  Thought it worth posting here in case anyone was tempted to check it out
Warning...

From the UK computer magazine Webuser:

Emails claiming that US presidential candidate Barack Obama was involved in a sex scandal should be treated with caution, security experts have warned.

The emails claim that Obama had been videoed in a compromising situation and promise to show you the footage if you click on the links contained in the message.

[snip]

Though the links do direct you to a sex video, it isn't Obama involved, according to Sophos. And while the video distracts you, something far more sinister is going on in the background.

"What appears to be an amateur porn movie is displayed on the computer screen while the malware is doing its dirty work and infecting your Windows PC with spyware," said Cluley.
