Default bad guys taking advantage of a tragedy

Websense has released an alert stating that malicious web sites are taking advantage of the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. This isn't surprising in the least, there's always someone willing to make money off of an incident like this. Hurricane Katrina hadn't even dissipated before the spam and malicious web sites started.

Both Websense and TrendLabs say their product will protect you from this particular round of threats, but TrendLabs gives a lot more information about the code that's being used on the malicious sites.

Since the average computer user isn't aware of a lot of the risks, they won't know to avoid clicking unknown links.
