Paris Hilton naked video scam


An email that promises you video clips of Paris Hilton naked will bring nothing but disappointment, security experts have warned.


Talking Trojan

Malware authors have switched their attention from Angelina Jolie to Paris Hilton in their latest attempt to infect your PC.

Emails which have subject lines such as 'Paris Hilton Free Video', include clickable links that invite you to watch a home video of the hotel heiress in the buff.

Sophos' Graham Cluley warned that rather than seeing videos of Paris Hilton in the nude, you would be installing a Trojan horse by clicking on the links.

"If the very thought of checking out Paris's scandalous home videos gets your mouse finger all-a-twitching then you may find before you know it you are downloading a file called Paris-nude-video.avi.exe," said Cluley.

Recently, a similar email scam promising videos of actress Angelina Jolie naked was spotted.
