Simpson’s email address delivers malware


by David Allen

For any fan of the hit TV cartoon The Simpson’s the email address chunkylover53@aol.com was actually used by the donut loving Homer in the episode “The Dad Who Knew Too Little”.

This email address was actually registered by a writer from the show.

The plan was to answer the emails as Homer, but as the show gained in popularity so did the email address.

It was decided the email address should be allowed to lapse, which it did until now.

It seems that Turkish hackers have reactivated the email address and are now using it to send out messages that have links to sites, which are infected with malware designed to add the infected computer to the Kimya Botnet.

True Simpson’s fans could be fooled into thinking that this is some sort of promotion or free offer from the Simpson’s production team.
