Malware campaign spreading "Eminem is Dead" rumors as a lure
Cybercriminals often generate fake news items regarding celebrities, in an attempt to generate traffic to their malware or exploits serving sites. This campaign, impersonating CBS News, was using the "Eminem died in a car crash" theme in order to trick end users into downloading and executing a copy of the ZeuS crimeware.

I've never . . .
seen one of these thing happen on my Win2K & XP systems,
mind you, I use FireFox with:
- NoScript
- FlashBlock
- AdBlock Plus
- Better Privacy
- FlagFox
- FormFox
I also have my network behind a dual cascaded DHCP NAT IPS security router setup
the first router creates a subnet to which the second belongs and then the second creates another subnet creating a sort of "no-mans land" between them
modem > Router > Router > Network
and I don't
- surf
- use facebook, etc.
- go to unsolicited links (ie. those in spam etc.)
also I refuse to use IE for anything but the win update site and the occasional visit to the E-SET site for the Online AV scanner just to verify what I already know
my systems are clean
