You've got to hand it to those crafty computer virus authors for knowing a good opportunity when they see one: no sooner had news about Paris Hilton's hacked Sidekick hit the web yesterday than emails containing the subject lines "Paris Hilton, pure!" and "Paris Hilton SexVideos" (we've received over 200 of the former today alone) began spreading the Sober-K and Ahker-C worms via an executable attachment, prompting wags at one website to remind everyone "Those looking for the simple life, without the trouble of viruses and worms, would be wise to be wary of unsolicited email attachments." Who says those IT types have no sense of humor?
