Spammers swift to exploit Jackson death to punt malware
Miscreants have wasted no time exploiting the shock death of Michael Jackson to run email harvesting and banking Trojan campaigns. Security watchers warn that more malware-laced emails themed around the death of the King of Pop and Charlie's Angels star Farrah Fawcett, who also died on Thursday, are likely to follow.

What he is dead?
I would have never have thought it considering BBC News 24 is now the Micheal Jackson show.
Is this not to be expected, when is a major (not my opinion) news story not exploited for profit?
Bad boys!
Still, must be a thriller for the spammers if anyone falls for it.
RE:What he is dead?
BBC News 24 is now the Micheal Jackson show = FACT
all day waiting for a report about the development of the Iranian unrest and the only thing i got it is what the world + dog think about the death of Jacko(RIP).
6 hours non stop of deification of a pop musician is not what i think a "respectable" news channel should be doing.
nausea ad maximum.
lads from lagos
give em they're due some sucker will fall for it
@Jon Green
Come on - everyone knows that the correct salutation is not "THANK YOU" but "YOURS IN CHRIST".
Darwinism...
This kind of stuff isn't spam - it's Darwinism at work.
No sympathy whatever for those moronic enough to fall for it.
Beware fraudster pron emails
You just have to: Beat it - beat it - beat it......
So there goes a week of news deemed less worthy
Though you have to wonder. . .
Seeing as Jacko is 99% plastic is he going to be made into Playmobile blocks so that El Reg can play with him for a change?
/We need a re-enactment of this one :)
Now jes' hold on pardner..
"But the spammer can harvest receivers’ email addresses via a free live email address if the spam message is replied to"
If I get send a spam email wouldn't that mean they already have my address and don't need to harvest it?
AmphetaMike Is Spam....
While Canabalism Is Still Limited, Ummm, Those Juicy Tenderloins, Marinated In OverSupply of Narcotics.... well, here My Memorial. Maybe Bit DrasHek.

Mike, Motown & Hollywood. All on Sunset Blvd. Michaels Sunset was Tort Action last year for 6 billion dollars. Staggering sum, Michael settled out of court, to Suadi Arabian. It is most likely that ALL Michaels future work would be of NO account & by statutory, Michael can retire name of Charcter. Its reflection of Societies communication upon artists message.
Locally, another Jackson, Bre' Jackson worked in NCAA Field.Bre' Is Strong Promoter of Blackness. Neighbors Are Ms. Johnson, Just Think MAGIC.Each BandHouse Is Collection of Performers Trained in Characters Style & Often limited To Shows They Control of Local Events. So Jackson/Johnson Family has its Ups & Downs.
Madonna already split with Jackson Troupe & other properties will, No Doubt continue under Mr. Jacksons' Command. Thats way it is with ones property.
Too Bad, Yet Valurability Had To End.

Crescendo of clogs popping off.
Misread...I thought it was Wacky Jaqui, not Wacko Jacko who'd croaked.
My bad. And his. RIP. Still, I live in hope...
As usual
They always target greed, senility or madness, or a combination. This one is mostly going to hit the crazies I think.
