Beware geeks baring GIFs

ANTI VIRUS firm Sophos said a message sent out earlier today claiming Tony Blair's email was hacked conceals a trojan worm.

Sophos said that if you get one of these emails and click on the link, it will install the trojan and run a password stealer.

Because of yesterday's General Election here in Old Blighty, there is more danger of people clicking on such a link than normally.

We haven't seen such an email here at the INQ, but there's more info on the Sophos site, here. µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
