These are amusing me. One of my accounts is getting a whole ton of spam with subject lines with the name of a celebrity and indicating they've died.
The email has an attachment I'm supposed to open to read more about this.
The problem is, the malware attempt is much less effective when you receive an entire list of them at once. Some of the names in the subject line don't even match the text.
Kanye West died

Kanye West died along with 34 other people when the Air Force CT-43 "Bobcat" passenger plane carrying the group on a trip crashed into a mountainside while approaching the Dubrovnik airport in Croatia during heavy rain and poor visibility.
Please see attachment |
Madonna died

Jennifer Lopez died along with 34 other people when the Air Force CT-43 "Bobcat" passenger plane carrying the group on a trip crashed into a mountainside while approaching the Dubrovnik airport in Croatia during heavy rain and poor visibility.
Please see attachment |
The list of this type of emails I've received within the past day also includes:
David Beckham
Jennifer Lopez
Brad Pitt
Jennifer Aniston
Johnny Depp
Nicole Kidman
Justin Timberlake
Cameron Diaz
J.K. Rowling
All with the same text and all received in rapid succession. That must have been a horrific accident, I'm surprised it's not in the news. |

Well, Jay-Z makes number 12? I wonder who the rest of the 34 were. I'm sure they were celebrities and will wait with baited breath for more spam. |

^^^ Or the "Busby Babes"
Quote: |
The "Busby Babes" and the Munich Air Disaster
On 6th February 1958, the plane carrying the Manchester United football team, crashed on takeoff on a snow covered runway at Munich Airport, West Germany. Seven members of the team died in the crash, and an eighth (Duncan Edwards) was to die later from serious injuries. Eight accompanying journalists and three club officials also perished in the crash.
United were returning from a match with Red Star Belgrade after a 3-3 draw, which had earned them a place in the European Cup semi-finals. Matt Busby, the manager, along with Bobby Charlton and defender Bill Foulkes had survived the crash. But it was to take another 10 years before Busby (and Manchester United) could replace his "Babes" with a winning team, and recover from the tragedy.
Illustrated (above right) is the "Munich Clock" which displays, above the entrance to Old Trafford, the date and time of the tragedy - the clock stopped permanently at that hour as a mark of respect and a perpetual memorial to those who perished.

With every bank account I'd deliver...
FWIW, the story is a retelling of the crash in 1996 that led to the death of US Secretary of Commerce Ronald H. Brown.

I'm with snerd. It's a clumsy government attempt to make a massive conspiracy look like a little harmless spam. I have no proof of this yet, but you can be sure Conde Nast is in this up to their eyeballs. |
