Re: Trojans in MP3s
They are actually downloading an executable, and when they attempt to "play" their download Windows will prompt them to ask if they really want to run this. That should be their first clue that this isn't their MP3. But then, should they affirm the choice to run it, the trojan even gives them a EULA they must agree to, which should be their second clue that this is not what they wanted. Yet there are idiots who will continue on.
IMHO, they get what they deserve. If they're so freakin' stupid they can't determine an MP3 or MPEG from an executable, at least by the behavior if not from the file extension, they shouldn't be allowed near a computer to begin with. |
