Obama is Victim of Fake Internet Sex Video

Posted on: Wednesday, 10 September 2008, 12:15 CDT

U.S. Democratic Party nominee for president Barack Obama has become a victim of spammers who use fake sex videos to spread malicious spyware.

An e-mail message written in broken English is making the rounds on the Internet offering viewers a video of Obama having "sex action" with Ukrainian girls, The Daily Telegraph reported Wednesday.

The newspaper says downloading the fake video will result in a virus infecting the computer.

The Obama spam was identified this week by the Internet security firm WebSense.

The e-mail has the subject line "Barack Obama sex story with girl" and says in broken English that the U.S. senator from Illinois "in 2007 was travel to Ukraine and have sex action with many Ukrainian girls."

Clicking on the link in the message takes the user to a site that plays a short snippet of an unrelated pornographic video.
