Bad News from CNN?

By Brad Mohr on 6 August 2008 at 6:50 PM

Have you suddenly started receiving a "Top 10 News Stories" email from CNN? Or perhaps several? I have, and they've managed to make it through two levels of spam detection unscathed. Watch out, though, because the messages are part of an attempt to deliver a malicious trojan horse. Following any of the links in the message will take you to a page that appears to be CNN.com and asks you to update to a newer version of Flash Player. But it's not really Flash Player that gets installed. Don't fall for it. (via Slashdot.)
