Dangerous email about Pope's death

CNET reports about a email going around that says, "Someone sent me this document which is stolen from a secret government body and deals about John Paul's death. It says he was killed by two 'doctors' who were hired by some government bodies. The text attached contains all the story behind his death and who these doctors are."

It should come as no surprise that opening the attached text launches a 'worm' that may damage one's security software, etc.

It goes without saying that the story to which the email alludes is bogus.

Other fake but sensationalist stories are also associated with this worm.

Caveat lector!
