It came to my mind, why is CNN sending me their daily top 10. I never registered to receive any list. I would rather go to their site to view the list than receive the daily top 10 list as an email. Mxlab blog reported about this. I have gotten this list more than three times and they were in my gmail spam (Thanks Google for putting it in my spam box). This is a picture of the email.
The link above is the URL when the mouse pointer is placed on any number. This is the first clue that the email is a hoax. The second clue is that the sender email is
Agee-tneiacno@euroopen.it
Why would CNN use that email address. CNN should use ……..@cnn.com. Mxlab blog reports that if you click on the link. It would take you to a video site. Then a pop up will come up and tell you to download the correct video codec, an executable called get_flash_update.exe, but this is in fact the Trojan-Downloader.Agent.EL. This trojan can download and installs other malware onto infected machine.

Hmm.. I would never click on such e-mails.
The thing with those e-mails is that people click on them without knowing what they’re doing! :s
BioTeck, I almost clicked the links in the email, but I did not since I did not subscribe to get CNN mails.
