FBI Issues Warning That Fake Bin Laden Media Is a Virus

The FBI today warned individuals that messages that say that they include photos and videos of Osama bin Laden’s death are not what they appear; the actually contain a virus that could steal your personal information.

Its no wonder… “Bin Laden” Google searches have increased 1 million percent in recent days, according to Google.

This virus poses as photos of Osama but actually contain an emailing, password-stealing Trojan horse program called “Banload”.

Going even further cyber-terrorists have tried to get search engines to index such material so that, when certain searches are performed, what appear to be legitimate results are really pages that are chalk full of malware.

Opportunistic. Sneaky.

Beware.
