Watch out for the Benazir Bhutto virus!

No, she hasn't been reincarnated, but yes, she's back, and this time as a virus! Reports are out that hackers have pounced on the news of Benazir Bhutto's assassination and within twelve hours of her death, viruses and malicious scripts appeared on the internet preying on surfers interested in additional information surrounding Bhutto's death. Well, guess who's responsible for the attack! CNet China has the details:

据专家分析，由病毒的编写手法、来源网站、木马植入方式、病毒的危害对象等来看，此带毒网站可能与中国黑客有关。但是，由于在搜索引擎上搜索布托夫人英文名字的主要是国外人士，并且该网站在百度等国内搜索引擎的排名并不高，因此对中国用户的危害相应较弱。
Analysts have looked into the way the viruses are scripted, their sources, the trojan embed methods and the damage systems and suggested that it is highly likely that Chinese hackers were responsible for this virus. However, since most people searching for "Benazir Bhutto" on the internet are foriegners, the chance of this virus spreading through Baidu and mainland China websites remains low. Hence it is expected to cause no major harm to surfers in China.

And... oh, of course, if you have Chinese viruses, you need to have Chinese anti-virus software:
