Jackson virus and spam spreads on Internet
San Francisco Friday, 2009 8:05:19 AM IST
Security researchers warned Thursday of the increasing levels of viruses and spam using Jackson's name to snare unsuspecting users.
One e-mail carries the subject line "Remembering Michael Jackson" was circulating with a worm in tow. The e-mail has a zip file
"The e-mail, which claims to come from sarah@michaeljackso
will be spreading the worm onto other Internet users."
Cluley said that the malware also spreads via USB memory sticks. Another e-mail promises an exclusive look at a YouTube video of the "last work of Michael Jackson," but instead installs a malicious program that steals passwords.
