The Danger of Britney Spears Links

Posted Jun 6, 2008 by David Risley  

We all get spam in our email. Probably lot of it. We get the guys trying to get our help transferring millions of dollars out of his country. We get the Viagra ads. We get the mortgage deals. And, yes, we get Britney Spears nude pics. Of course, they are fake. They are designed to lure you into clicking the link.

Ever wondered what happens when you click the link? Well the guys at Sophos think about it. They created a video to show you what happens when you click the link. And they use Google Earth to show how the Internet makes these scams so hard to track.

And now you know. Get Britney in your email? Steer clear of it.
