Waspadalah - Seiring dengan meninggalnya salah satu pemimpin diktator timur tengah, Moammar Gaddafi di tangan rakyatnya sendiri rupanya dijadikan kesempatan oleh seseorang untuk menyebarkan berita mengenai kematiannya. Pesan yg dikirim melalui email ke sebuah mailing list ini rupanya terdeteksi oleh perusahaan keamanan Sophos internet merupakan sebuah malware. Berikut petikan berita lengkapnya yang saya copy dari situs "luar".
" As is not unusual when big news breaks, malware authors try to take
advantage of the situation.A global computer virus that hides in an
email about Gaddafi's death has been detected by internet security firm
Sophos. The malware was caught in its worldwide network of spam traps.
The email below was sent to a mailing list that receives information
pertaining to the Uighur people. The mail appears to have been sent from
Korea.
Malicious hackers have spammed out an attack posing as pictures of Gaddafi's death, tricking users into believing that they came from the AFP news agency and are being forwarded by a fellow internet user.
As unlikely as the legitimacy of these emails may seem - in this case, the latest photos being forwarded to you in an email attachment - the news is often just too interesting for people to ignore.
Internet users are advised to avoid opening the email and updating or applying their security settings.
