According to TechWorld,

Separately, security firm Sophos said a new attack is using a lure of images of celebrity heiress Paris Hilton in a state of undress in order to invade users’ systems.
Spammed email messages with subject lines such as “Hot pictures of Paris Hilton nude,” and containing images of porn star Jenna Jameson, have begun circulating this week, Sophos said.
The emails link to a website containing the Troj/Iffy-B trojan horse, which links to more malicious code exploiting the animated cursor bug patched by Microsoft this week.
The attack appears to have been carried out by the same group who exploited the cursor issue earlier this month with Britney Spears images as a lure, Sophos said.
Security firm Websense has said it has seen attacks achieve a success rate of up to 15 percent six months after a particular problem has been patched.

Let’s face it, you can get plenty of FREE pics of Paris doing just about anything in the universe, so don’t open that SPAM!
