Using the subject line "Tsunami donation! Please help!", hackers are sending out e-mails containing a virus in the attachment "tsunami.exe", Web security firm Sophos has said. If the attachment is opened it will automatically be sent to others.
"Duping innocent users into believing that they may be helping the tsunami disaster aid efforts shows hackers stooping to a new low," Sophos senior technology consultant Graham Cluley said in a statement.
Sophos recommends deleting the mail without opening the attachment.
