As usual, don't open or follow the attachments to such email, they were part of an attack years ago that may resurface. The danger is EXAGERATED since trojans can only attack if opened. Don't open the attachments. Steve.
the specific threat posed by the 2005 trojan attack has long since disappeared. However, almost immediately after the real news of Bin Laden's demise began hitting news outlets, Internet criminals began exploiting the massive, worldwide public interest in the story. As in the 2005 attack, criminals began using the promise of pictures or videos of Bin Laden's death as a means of distributing malware. In other cases, the death was used to trick people into participating in survey or phishing scams.
Such Bin Laden related attacks are likely to continue. Internet users should be very cautious of following links or opening attachments in email or social media posts that claim to offer footage or photographs of Bin Laden's killing.
