Cybercriminals exploit Kim Jong Il's death - GMA News Online - The Go-To Site for Filipinos Everywhere: "Neither gloating nor mourning the death of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, cybercriminals have started taking advantage of his demise to make a quick buck at computer users’ expense.

Computer security firm Trend Micro said spam messages with email subjects mentioning the death of Kim Jong Il have started reaching victims’ inboxes.

“The messages arrive with a .PDF attachment that has the file name ‘brief_introduction_of_kim-jong-il.pdf.pdf.’ The said file is of course malicious and is detected as TROJ_PIDIEF.EGQ,” it warned in a blog post.
