New "FBI Virus" On the Web

Okay, with all of the news of Carnivore and Federal involvement with computer crimes, people are bound to be a big paranoid about their web-surfing habits. But let's make it clear - the FBI is not monitoring your web surfing! Instead, there is a new computer virus out there (really a trojan horse attached to an e-mail) which purports to be from the FBI which indicates "their Internet use has been monitored by the FBI's Internet Fraud Complaint Center, and that they have accessed illegal Web sites. The e-mails then direct recipients to open an attachment and answer questions, but the attachments contain a computer virus." If you get such an e-mail, do not open it, don't click on the attachment, just delete it and move on with your life.

After all, the FBI is low tech enough to actually use people do their intimidation for them. I am sure the Federal Law Enforcement Union would be quite ticked off if they started losing jobs to automated 'bots online.
