San Francisco, July 3 (DPA) Security researchers warned Thursday of the increasing levels
of viruses and spam using Jackson's name to snare unsuspecting users.
One e-mail carries the subject line 'Remembering Michael Jackson' was circulating with a
worm in tow. The e-mail has a zip file attached that infects victims if downloaded.
'The e-mail, which claims to come from sarah@michaeljackson.com, says that the attached
ZIP file contains secret songs and photos of Michael Jackson,' Graham Cluley, senior
technology consultant at Sophos, wrote on a blog. 'However, the reality is that opening the
attachment exposes you to infection - and if your computer is hit you
will be spreading the worm onto other Internet users.'
