Oh, those clever hax0rs!
An e-mail spam message is making the rounds claiming that the Material Girl herself, Madonna, has come down with a nasty case of Swine Flu!!
Unsuspecting victims (aka idiots) have been duped by opening emails with the title, “Madonna caught swine flu!”
The internet novices who clicked the link provided in the spam message ended up with a fun surprise!
By clicking the link, they allowed hackers access to their entire hard drive!
Computer security company McAfee stated today that Swine Flu spam now accounts for almost 2% of the spam email sent worldwide!
Jeez!
Said Greg Day of McAfee on the “tricky” hackers, “We see attackers all the time try and trick us into infecting ourselves through the use of current affairs and popular topics… Here is a topic everyone is watching the news for information about and here’s a big celebrity who people want to follow the gossip from. People will want to click it and that’s the goal from the attackers.”
That’s why U guys should always rely on gossip websites to read the dirt!
Wink wink.
