mark2 Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 SEATTLE (Reuters) - A virus supposedly showing images of Osama bin Laden's suicide has popped up on the Internet, designed to entice recipients to open a file that unleashes malicious software code, security experts say.The virus was attached to a message that was posted on over 30,000 usenet newsgroups and is not being spread via e-mail, said Web security vendor Sophos on FridayChris Kraft, senior security analyst at Sophos, said the message and virus was designed to lure unsuspecting readers into opening a file, similar to the Anna Kournikova virus that enticed readers to open a file that unleashed malicious software code."If you don't know the person or the origin of a message, you shouldn't be opening it," Kraft said.Don't be tempted :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
