Bin Laden death brings malware explosion

[Jeffrey Walton <noloader () gmail com>]

"With the biggest news in a decade dominating the Internet, it didn't
take long for rogue viruses, Trojans and other malware to mess with
computers given the chance. Web searches and links to a variety of
stories — real and fake — about the death of Osama bin Laden are
sprouting with all kinds of malicious software as cybercriminals look
for a big payday tied to the appetite for news about the Al-Qaida
leader's demise."
