Emails claiming pop star Michael Jackson, on trial on sex abuse charges, has tried to kill himself are being spread by hackers as a means to break into computers, a British anti-virus firm said on Friday.
The hackers have sent emails with the subject "Re: Suicidal attempt" and the message text: "Last night, while in his Neverland Ranch, Michael Jackson has made a suicidal attempt," said security software specialists at Sophos.
Jackson is awaiting a California court verdict on charges of child molestation.
The email asks recipients to click on a link that takes them to a Web Site which secretly installs malicious code on their computers.
"If you click on the link, the Web Site displays a message saying it is too busy, which may not surprise people who think it might contain genuine breaking news about Michael Jackson," said Carole Theriault, security consultant at Sophos.

I read about this. I really think it's pathetic that some folks have nothing better to do than to make viruses and send them to unsuspecting folks.
