Cyber-crooks thrive on Osama's death

VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE

With the news of Osama Bin Laden being dead, spam e-mails with videos disapproving his possible death are doing the rounds in cyberspace. These e-mails lure users into clicking the link which are then directed to a site that downloads a small file onto your system. This file, detected currently as either "Heuristic.LooksLike.Win32.EPO.F" or "Artemis!7C4314D9690D" is a Trojan that does nothing but steal data. McAfee has also seen links and scams that lead to FakeAV, RBot and ZBot binaries.

McAfee warns users to look out for any of the above words in the subject lines of emails, links via Facebook or Twitter as such mail/links will be malicious.
