Like Megatron's Decepticon minions from 'Transformers,' spyware and malware keep finding new ways to hide themselves in an effort to infect your home computer. The latest attempt is a supposed video showing Barack Obama engaged in some sort of sinful act. It's all a lie -- it's just another piece of malicious software looking to hide itself on your machine.In this case, the malware is a trojan called Mal/Hupig-D. It runs in the background and, as with most malware, steals passwords, credit card numbers, bank account information, and can pretty much do whatever it wants once installed. An e-mail message written in broken English
is making the rounds on the Internet offering viewers a video of Obama having "sex action" with Ukrainian girls, The Daily Telegraph reported Wednesday. The e-mail has the subject line "Barack Obama sex story with girl" and says in broken English that the U.S. senator from Illinois "in 2007 was travel to Ukraine and have sex action with many Ukrainian girls."
Clicking on the link in the message takes the user to a site that plays a short snippet of an unrelated pornographic video.
