Alert: Pictures of Prime Minister of Australia Son Naked - The Australian

Today I received an email with the subject “Pictures of Prime Minister of Australia Son Naked”. This email is an obvious fake and I do hope no one falls for it. The Prime Minister of Australia, Julia Gillard, has no children.

The link (castanhalshows.com.br/wp-includes/picture.scr ) is interesting to me as it shows how easy it is for people to infect their computer. The link is to a folder which would normally be associated with WordPress, which is blogging software installed on many sites. WordPress is commonly hijacked to perform what is known as drive-by attacks. That is you visit a site that has malware installed and you infect your computer. The owner of the site is often not aware for some time that their site is being used in this way.an online blogging.

I hope curiosity didn’t get the better of you.
