Fake news from CNN

I have been getting spam email purporting to be news headlines from CNN. Actually, these emails are part of a massive malware attack. Gregg Keizer reports:

More than a thousand hacked Web sites are serving up fake Flash Player software to users duped into clicking on links in mail that’s part of a massive spam attack masquerading as CNN.com news notifications, security researchers said today.

Delete any email that you get that claims to be CNN news. This involves the fake Flash player that I posted about before.
