Trojan Using Tragedy As Bait

[HardOCP News]

There is nothing more despicable than scammers using a tragedy as a way to trick people into downloading a Trojan horse. This just reaffirms my belief that spammers and scammers are the lowest form of life on the planet. As always, be careful what you click on.

If clicked, the link caused a computer to automatically download a malicious screensaver, called TERROR_EM_VIRGINIA.scr by Sophos, which installs a Trojan horse program that collects banking details, Cluley said.

There's always bottom feeders in this world... countless times have I seen people make jokes about the VT thing.

It's not funny.

That being said, there's nothing anybody can do. Unfortunately.

Well, at least we could hope they get hit by a bus the next time they go out. Fucking morons.

This is truly a shame, and draws more bad attention to an already tragic event...

Yeah, it really is only people who should not be using computers in the first place that get exploited. Probably the same *ssholes who slow down near traffic accidents to get a good look...
