Angelina Jolie pictures trigger malware surge
Emails posing as nude pictures of the actress Angelina Jolie have been blamed for a surge in malware last month, according to Sophos.
The jump is attributed to a hacking campaign using the Pushdo Trojan during the second half of September.
Messages promising images of actresses such as Halle Berry and Jolie, were sent to recipients with malware designed to give the hackers control of infected computers.
According to Sophos, the Pushdo Trojan accounted for nearly four in every five malicious emails during a single 24-hour period last month.
