SACRAMENTO, July 26 (UPI) -- Internet users are advised to be cautious of Usenet groups reporting California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has died, because the sites have been infected with a Trojan Horse.
The Register Tech Web site reported Monday hackers who sent messages that Osama bin Laden had killed himself and provided "photographs" infected with the Hackarmy Trojan, have moved on to the California governor.

Similar messages concerning Schwarzenegger's "death" appeared during the weekend. The messages instructed Internet users to download a zip file containing a "screensaver" that experts say had been contaminated with the same Hackarmy Trojan. Since the process is easy to engineer, more copycats are expected.
