Simpson Movie Masks Trojan

The popular television character Homer Simpson, who has become household name for nearly 20 years, has been uncovered as a botnet pusher that attempts to persuade unsuspecting users to load the Kimya malware onto their PCs.

In one of The Simpsons (a popular television show) episode in 2003, a writer disclosed Homer's e-mail ID - chunkylover53@aol.com. Before airing that episode, a particular writer of the show had registered that address to answer numerous e-mails coming from Simpson's fans. Now after many years, the chunkylover53 television name has reappeared but this time it is used to disseminate a Trojan masked in a Simpson movie.
