I’ve mentioned before that the death of Michael Jackson had, and could, lead to an increase in spam as those behind junk mail always jump on the latest trends in order to hawk their rubbish.

This particular email claims to have secret information about the ‘killer’ of the famous pop star but does, in fact, lead to machines becoming infected and subsequently sending out hundreds or thousands of messages without the user realising it.

Well I know a few people who think MJ really was murdered but I’m not into conspiracy theories
