In a professional weekly post I received yesterday, we were warned about
such a message, which contains this type of text, plus a link the a web
site. The post indicated that when we click on the link, a virus is
automatically activated.

Has anyone else been getting messages like the one
below in their e-mail accounts?
"Just got this from CNN Osama Bin Laden has just been captured! A video
and some pictures have been released. Goto the link below for pictures,
I will update the page with the video as soon as I can"
A link then is then given, which contains the
expression God Bless America.
However, if you click on it, you'll get a Hungarian
porn site showing pictures of silly young women with,
well, I don't think that's condensed milk that's been
splattered on their faces.
The reason why I suspect a connection with this chat
site is that it's the only place where my e-mail
address appears. Maybe someone who uses it got a virus? Alternately, some spammer found a
way of bypassing the user-at-website format.
BTW, the e-mail address where this message comes from
is phony. It supposedly comes from yahoo, but yahoo
says that the address is a spoof one.
