Michael Jackson spam spreads, malware attacks likely

Just eight hours after news broke about Jackson, PLC started tracking the first wave of Jackson spam, which used a subject line of "Confidential -- Michael Jackson."

"The body of the spam message does not contain any call-to-action link such as a URL, e-mail or phone number,"

Users should also beware of results from searches they run using the singer's name

"But the spammer can harvest receivers' e-mail addresses via a free live e-mail address if the spam message is replied to."
