Fake YouTube email turns PCs into spam machines

San Francisco - A new email urging recipients to watch a video of themselves on YouTube actually directs them to a fake site that infects their computers and turns them into spam machines, security experts warned Tuesday. A hacker group known as "Storm Botnet" began dispersing the emails over the weekend. One such email is headlined "OMG, what are you thinking," and reads: "this i [sic] not good. If this video gets to her husband your both dead. see for yourself..." It then provides a link to a purported video. Alternative subject lines read, "LMAO, your crazy man" and open up to text that alleges, "You can see your face right in the video. its all over the web dude. take a look, lol."
