Worm baits hook with hints of Pope plot
By Joris Evers, CNET News.com

E-mails suggesting there was a conspiracy around Pope John Paul II's
death or that Michael Jackson has passed away could be carrying a worm,
experts have warned.

Sophos, a U.K. antivirus software maker, warned people on Tuesday
about a new worm that poses as a breaking news alert. The worm,
called Kedebe-F, spreads via e-mail and uses a variety of subject lines
and message bodies.

One of the messages, as seen by Sophos, read: "Someone sent me this
document which is stolen from a secret government body and deals about
John Paul's death. It says he was killed by two 'doctors' who were hired
by some government bodies. The text attached contains all the story
behind his death and who these doctors are."

Good thing we are on ATS ehh???

Cause we know for sure that neither of those are true.

Thanks for the info....will be on the lookout!

I just figured that since many folks are here because they don't
immediately trust things that are presented to them .. that the
'tease' of a conspiracy would entice them to open the email
and ... poof .. they'd be infected. Just a heads up.
