Information Technologies (IT) warns of a new round of malware spreading through Facebook, Twitter and other social networks and media in the wake of Osama Bin Laden's death. Numerous links claiming to show photos of Bin Laden, or links claiming to have video footage of his execution, are being posted on these social networks. Do not click on any of these links that are posted anywhere on Facebook or other sites as they will spread malicious spyware onto your system and possibly into UNM's network. As well, do not click on any links or open any attachments sent in e-mail messages from unknown sources or claiming to have video or photos of Bin Laden's death.
If you have any questions or concerns about possible malware or spyware on your system, or general concerns about IT security at UNM, contact IT
