Angelina Jolie naked
See that one come through your email in box lately?
Probably so.
A new report from Internet security company Secure Computing shows that emails mentioning actress Jolie and other celebrities (also often naked) are the most common forms of e-mail spam tied to hacker attacks these days.
Angelina Jolie spam emails (other variations include “Angelina Jolie nude movie” and “Angelina Jolie naked video”) accounted for more than 2 percent of all email sent over the Internet last month, according to Secure Computing.
Recipients ignorant enough to actually open and click on the fake video link inside the emails are taken to a Web site that automatically downloads a malicious software “Trojan” that can scan their computer, disable security features, modify files and collect sensitive personal information.
And who knew Angelina Jolie was so bad?
Of course she’s not the only celebrity used by hackers in naughty email spam. According to Secure Computing, following Angelina in the top celebrity spam count were emails mentioning Barack Obama, followed by the more usual suspects Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson.
Hillary Clinton was next, followed by George Bush, Osama Bin Laden and Angelina Jolie’s hubbie, Brad Pitt.
Michael Jackson rounded out the Top 10 list of celebrity email spam, proving that when it comes to spam, you just can’t Beat It.

HA-HA. What a bunch of losers. If you really are interested in seeing naked people, there are better ways of doing so. Why would anyone with their right mind think there would be naked videos of GW or HC. Why would anyone want to see that mess. LOL

Anyone stupid enough to fall for this garbage deserves what they get! With all the warnings on the internet these days, if you open anything from anyone you don’t know, you could open yourself up to most anything. If I don’t know you personally, don’t expect me to open your e-mails!!!

I don’t like opening up mail from people “I do know”. Good grief…the lure of perverse behavior…it’s addicting…JUST SAY NO…people.

Someone mentioned not opening emails from people that they don’t know. My business email address was used by spammers to send an email to my colleagues. I hope that none of them were hurt by the Jolie naked email.

Common sense is needed when operating a computer.

Think about it. Everyone who has made a post, apparently viewed the heading “Jolie naked” and clicked on the title link. What does that mean….it means that you wanted to know if Angelina was really naked. You fell for the title just like everyone else you fools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grammaw! Of course, that’s why you didn’t reply to my numerous e-mails!
I, Dr. Clement Okon, am seeking an overseas partner will help me transfer US$21,230,000 from Nigeria. This amount remains in an account fraudulently obtained during the reign of the former military regime. I will gladly share 20% with you if you can assist me! All I need is your …
Ha. You know, the people I do have some sympathy for are the victims of phishing scams. I’ve seen some very good looking phishing e-mails. I think most people know enough not to give out personal data in response to an e-mail, but I can see how some, less savvy, internet users get duped.
PS, to the guy who posted under the username, “Idiot” … very clever piece of satire … nicely done.
