Osama bin Laden dead – so watch for the spams and scams | Naked Security

Google's top-trending Anglophone search term right now is, understandably, "osama bin laden dead".
Google officially describes its hotness (you couldn't make this stuff up) as volcanic.
The short version, according to the LA Times, is that bin Laden was tracked to a "comfortable mansion surrounded by a high wall in a small town near Islamabad, Pakistan's capital."
For bin Laden, it seems, the comfort is no more. "On Sunday, a 'small team' of Americans raided the compound. After a firefight, [President Obama], they killed Bin Laden." Apparently, DNA tests have confirmed Bin Laden's identity.
And there you have it.
Now you know the basics - but watch out for the links you're likely to come across in email or on social networking sites offering you additional coverage of this newsworthy event.
Many of the links you see will be perfectly legitimate links. But at least some are almost certain to be dodgy links, deliberately distributed to trick you into hostile internet territory.
If in doubt, leave it out!
