View Full Version : Fake CNN Alert spreading malware
I've been getting at least 8 spam messages a day regarding a CNN Alert. Since I've not signed up for CNN, I haven't clicked on any of the links. Now I saw this article on PCWorld daily tech news, confirming my suspicions that it's associated with malware. :mad:

CNN blogged about this yesterday, but I can't find any reference to it at all right now on CNN's site...
Many other sites are covering the story though.

Yep -- there was one in my Spam folder this morning, along with another CNN alert and a few other things. I've been hit with as many as 20 Spam messages a day, all being captured by Gmail's Spam filters.

I've got CNN, MSNBC and BBC.
My enterprise filter caught them all.
What do I win?
