Be careful...

If you get an offer to see a video of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh’s execution, be careful. It probably isn’t a video clip, just an old trick. In an Internet chat room Monday, hours after McVeigh’s death, some participants went to a Web link to see a bootleg video of the execution only to be duped into downloading a malicious program that can allow a hacker to take control of another computer. Brad Chapman, a Brigham Young University computer science student, said that by visiting a Web site at Internet provider Concentric Networks, his computer downloaded the program, known as SubSeven.Chapman didn’t run the program, but instead analyzed it and found out what it really does.
