That’s right, and this time it’s not a hoax! Bin Laden was killed by a CIA-led operation on Sunday night at a mansion in Abbottabad, north of Islamabad. In 2004, Symantec reported a hoax email attack with the subject “Osama bin Laden Captured” which contain a link to a Web site that hosted malware. Similar attacks that used such false information about Osama Bin Laden were also distributed in 2005 and 2006.
- “Osama Dead” Is No Longer a Hoax.
