BEWARE: Osama Bin Laden Malware Reincarnates

Malware riffing Osama Bin Laden's death continues to proliferate -- as soon as Facebook stomps one out, another materializes. Don't click on any of them.

Malware based on Osama Bin Laden’s death continues to proliferate. As soon as Facebook stomps one out, another materializes.

Yesterday’s scamware offered photos of the corpse and today’s campaigns are promising videos promises to of the arch-terrorist’s execution.

Click on any such promise, you see none of the photos or videos, but and instead spam all of your friends’ walls while malware downloads onto your machine.

Pretty please don’t click on it. Report it, delete all signs of it from your wall, remove it from you account and if necessary, post a status update apologizing to any recipients of spam.
