Scum sucking, pond life, bottom feeding scammers have jumped on this news of the death Steve Jobs.

Quote
Facebook scammers have seized on the death of Apple co-founder and visionary Steve Jobs by posting malicious content claiming to be giving away free iPads ‘in memory of Steve’.

Not sure if you will be able to access this link or not, but I'm sure this news will be out in other media outlets. Suffice to say this may spread the the usual social engineering attacks/emails, etc. trying to trick the unwary.

Malicious QR Codes Pushing Android Malware

I wish we had avast for Blackberry... I wish avast mobile detects such malwares...
But it is only a wish, further from reality. The reality is the malware in the other side of the bar code...
The best things in life are free.

Hi Asyn,

The C-media Certificate was apparently stolen: http://www.symantec.com/content/en/us/enterprise/media/security_response/whitepapers/w32_duqu_the_precursor_to_the_next_stuxnet.pdf
And here F-Secure's Mikko states that w32_duqu was made by the same makers of the previous Stuxnet malware: http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00002255.html
