[pchelpers] News:Hackers running fake Obama website

20 January 2009, 19:03
Paris - Hackers are using dozens of fake websites linked to Barack
Obama's inauguration as US president to spread a virus on the Internet,
a security company warned Tuesday.

According to the firm Panda Security, more than 70 websites are running
a bogus news story titled "Barack Obama has refused to be a president,"
aimed at tricking Internet users into downloading the computer virus.

Users who click on the story are asked to click in a pop-up window to
download an information file.
