Beware of Obama spam

Please read this warning at: NETWORK WORLD

Excerpt:

The e-mails, which claim to come from news@president.com, have subject lines such as “Obama win preferred in world poll.”

The e-mail prompts users to click on a link to watch his “amazing speech.” If users download Adobe Flash Version 9 as prompted, they are infected with malicious code that allows their systems to be remotely controlled by hackers. The malicious code is a Trojan Horse dubbed Mal/Behav-027 by SophosLabs.
