Bin Laden scam alert: Scam experts are warning consumers that online scammers may try to exploit the death of bin Laden to spread malware via computer emails, texts and social network sites. These will most likely offer you a link to new information or photos/video. Mike Lennon of SecurityWeek said cybercriminals "typically use very attractive headlines to encourage users to click links and direct them to malware infected Web pages. Links are already beginning to spread across Facebook, similar to what happened following news of the recent earthquake in Japan." The malware could crash your computer, send out similar emails to your contact lists, or be a keystroke logger looking for account or Social Security numbers.
