Spam "Osama"




In contrast to the statement that the White House will not release a photo Osama bin Laden's body, at social networking pages like Facebook circulating links that offer photos and video of Al Qaeda leader's death. Do not believe or directly clicking away, because the links are suspected as spam and may even contain dangerous computer viruses. 

CNN reported the Federal Government and security experts issued warnings for Internet users to be careful clicking on links to fake bin Laden-related deaths. 

Following the news that Osama martyrdom directly occupy the highest search on the internet, e-mail inbox and social media like Facebook flooded with links that are suspected as spam, or at worst a dangerous computer virus is contained. 

One message that offers a link to a photo sheikh Osama who was holding the newspaper, circulated to prove that the al Qaeda leader was still alive. One e-mail, written in Spanish, was found to contain Trojan horses when the link is clicked pictures in it. 

Link is titled "Osama bin Laden Killed (Live on Video). 

"Beware of verbose messages, subject lines in e-mail, or links via Facebook and Twitter that contain words like that-because it almost certainly will lead to problems," 

"Make sure your security software is fully updated and be sure also to use browsing software is safe." 

Sources in the White House said the U.S. president had decided not to release photos of Osama bin Laden. Fake photos of bin Laden's body was already circulating online. 

Federal intelligence agencies, the FBI, also released a warning regarding the circulation of malicious software that is spread through the links paslu. Internet Crime Complaint Center at the FBI issued the following suggestions: 
  1. Customize your privacy settings on social networking sites, like Facebook, to filter the items posted to your wall. 
  2. Do not download the new software offered to view the video. Applications it is often only as a mask for you on their system. 
  3. Read the e-mail and posting on social media with caution. Harmful messages are often written in bad grammar, misspellings, and nonstandard English sentences. 
  4. Report message purporting to be from the FBI or other security agencies. Their names are often used to try to build legitimacy. 
Besides we do need to be careful with the "criminal" software, it matters more is that perhaps this is also as a means to restrict motion "cyber mujahideen" or it could be preventing access to Muslims about the news related to Osama.
