Phony terrorist attacks = real computer attacks

There's been an explosion of new scams lately, but this one takes the exposion idea literally. It starts with an e-mail message about a shocking news report of a terrorist bombing. The messages can be customized to look like local reports and make it appear the tragedy has occurred in a particular community. Clicking on the link takes you a phony Reuters video. To watch it, you're told you need to download the latest version of Adobe's Flash video player. Fall for that, and you'll end up downloading malware instead -- and infecting your computer.
