"U.S. President Barack Obama ran a successful Web 2.0 campaign last year. Now, as president, he's got to deal with a very Web 2.0 problem: hackers abusing the social-networking features of his Web site. Hackers have registered bogus accounts on Obama's online community, my.barackobama.com, where they are posting images designed to set off a chain of events that lead to malicious Trojan horse programs. These programs are stepping stones used by hackers to download more and more malware onto a victim's computer." --clip-- More at http://www.pcworld.com/printable/article/id,158343/printable.html pointing to http://securitylabs.websense.com/content/Blogs/3284.aspx BTW: It's more and more difficult to find article links without silly ads in these days :-( When you'll find it there is no printer-friendly version available...
