Email Virus Warning!!!
To all of you who may get this Valentine's eCard read this message before opening it.Message in Yahoo News....
In case you're tempted to open that tantalizing e-card with the subject line "from your secret admirer," think again. The FBI warned Tuesday about a destructive "Trojan horse" hiding in e-cards that hijacks computers. "If you unexpectedly receive a Valentine's Day e-card, be careful," the Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a statement, warning Internet users to "be on the lookout for spam emails spreading the Storm Worm malicious software (malware).
This is not new -- every holiday malicious hackers capitalize by sending bogus emails with an e-mail card link within the text. Bottom line : if you don't know who it's from, don't open it. And for all you suitors out there, buy a card and send it snail mail.
I wanted to get this out there, especially for my Grandma who Kelly and I just helped get a new computer. Hopefully you got it in time G/ma! :)
I will be following up with some update messages with what is new and other random thoughts soon. Be well!!!
