Security experts at Sophos Canada have warned that a file posing as a home movie of pop star Michael Jackson is infected by a malicious Trojan. Thousands of messages posted to Internet newsgroups Since Wednesday are encouraging computer users to download a file supposedly containing pictures of Mr. Jackson abusing a young boy. In reality, no such photographs are present but the file can open computers up to attack from hackers.
The subject line can read, "Michael Jackson Home Movie Horror" and the message can read "Posted here are the pictures that are going to put Michael Jackson behind bars for a very long time. Disturbing stills taken from the home movies shot by Mr Jackson are now circulating the net. In these pictures here, it can be clearly seen that Mr Jackson is performing un-natural acts with the boy in question."
