CNN Alerts

 

There are an extraordinary number of these polluting the Internet.

Yesterday I had 28,687 spam messages, which is typical and just a little bit up on the last few weeks, where I have averaged about 25 to 26,000 a day. But in those messages were 3,551 messages with a title of CNN Alerts. These are trying to download a virus to my computer.

In other words 12.4% of all spam messages I received are for this nasty virus.

When are governments going to target these people?
