Iranian nuclear crisis report disguises malicious Trojan horse attack, Sophos reports

"And here is the news... you're about to be hit by a Trojan horse"
Experts at SophosLabs™, Sophos's global network of virus, spyware and spam analysis centers, have warned of a widespread spam campaign that poses as a breaking news report, but really leads computer users to an infected website. The spam pretends to be a link to news about Iran's controversial decision to continue work at its Ishafan nuclear plant, but is really an attempt to lure innocent computer users into being infected by a Trojan horse and attacked by hackers.
