Be careful when you open your email at work today. Over the weekend, your inbox may have become inundated with messages carrying links to news stories with lurid headlines about Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Britney Spears and other celebs. Don't even think about clicking on the link. If you do, you will instantly join millions of others duped over the past 18 months into turning over your PC to the operators of the Storm botnet. Your PC will then be used to spread fraud spam; you'll help these guys sell fake drugs and carry out pump-and-dump stock market scams. For good measure, the Storm gang will gleefully harvest all of your usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, Social Security number -- any sensitive data you type into web page forms. Your personal data will be sold to the highest bidder in a thriving, eBay-like underground market. And to add salt to your wounds, the only way to get Storm off your PC is by reinstalling a fresh copy of your Windows operating system.

I was shocked to hear that Michael Jackson's body had been found on a ranch in Texas this morning... but then I realized that I was reading the subject lines in my Spam folder.
