Michael Jackson Email Virus Spreading Across Internet

Boston (DbTechNo) - It is being reported that a new Michael Jackson internet virus is making the rounds thanks to people who have nothing better to do.

According to security firm Sophos, an email virus promising secret Michael Jackson songs is circulating the web, with the virus activated when a user clicks on the attached file.

The email comes from the address “sarah@michaeljackson.com”, and has the subject line “Remembering Michael Jackson.”

Jackson died in the US on June 25, to the utter dismay and shock of billions of fans world wide.

“By opening the attachment, computer users are exposed to infection. Once infected, a computer will begin automatically spreading the worm onto other Internet users,” Sophos said.

Computer users are being urged to not open the email, and to simply delete it from their inboxes.
