Beware Of The Jackson Suicide Virus
Posted on Saturday, June 11 @ W. Europe Daylight Time
A word to the wise: be warned that you could receive the now infamous Jackson suicide virus in your email. And, no, despite what you might think, the Michael Jackson suicide virus doesn't encourage you to click on a link where it plays Jackson's last CD — causing you to commit suicide. Sophos reports it does this: Experts at SophosLabs™, Sophos's global network of virus and spam analysis centers, have warned of a spam campaign that claims that Michael Jackson has attempted suicide in an attempt to lure innocent computer users into being infected by a Trojan horse.
The message, if you are dumb enough mistakenly open it is this:
