Barack Obama Sex Video scandal? No, spyware..delete..now!

I don’t know if you received any email with the “Obama Sex Video” subject, but if you do, don’t be curious, just delete it at once. There isn’t such thing as an Obama sex scandal or any pornographic video, it’s just the same old malware authors attempt to use a politic figure or the upcoming elections to release a virus or in this case, some spyware.

The email we are talking about comes with a link, which indeed plays a porn video but without Barak Obama. in the backend tho, things are a little different, playing this movie will install the Mal/Hupig-D Trojan Horse, we are informed by Sophos. This trojan horse isn’t a big threat, but if you were curious about that movie, I strongly recommend you to clean your computer.

There are several theories behind this spam, some say it’s political and the Republicans are getting techie, some say some antivirus companies are taking sides but I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.
