Anti-Piracy Scam Emails Target BitTorrent Users
Scumbag scammers are targeting BitTorrent users now. You got to admit it, you'd have to be kind of a n00b to fall for this one but I am sure there are plenty BitTorrent users out there that would appreciate the heads up anyway, so here it is.

The latest scam, unlike the others we have reported on before, is one that is sent by email. The email is disguised as a message from the anti-piracy company MediaDefender (using their logo etc.), and warns the recipient that his or her download behavior has been logged. The email has a report attached with more details about the infringed material, which turns out to be a virus.
