Taking the Threat Seriously

As most of you probably know, I'm a computer security guy for my week-day job. I know a thing or two about viruses and such. I also know about the numerous "forward this to everyone you know" emails that always turn out to be hoaxes.

This one is real. Got it today:

A warning to everyone about some dangerous emails that are making the rounds...

If you receive an email with the subject: "Nude Pictures of Sarah Palin!", Do not open it-- it may contain a virus.

If you receive an email with the subject: "Nude Pictures of Hillary Clinton!", Do not open it-- it may contain nude photos of Hillary Clinton.

Consider yourself warned...
