Budget 2012: Government to allow film industry-style tax breaks for the UK's animation and video game producers
MPs want firms to withhold ads from papers ignoring new complaints body
Committee chairman recommends advertisers sign a pledge to force papers to follow PCC replacement's rules
Times libel ruling restores Reynolds defence
Publication of allegations about police corruption involving extradition of Russian oligarchs was legitimate, rules court
The BBC announcement on Wednesday unsurprisingly made the name of the 25-year-old actress a trending topic on Twitter. Porno spammers latched onto this trend by mentioning "Jenna-Louise Coleman" in messages containing links references to supposed sex videos. In reality, users are been tricked through the combination of a smutty lure and a clickjacking exploit into unwittingly following a Twitter account, as explained in a post by Graham Cluley on Sophos's Naked Security blog here.
"The webpage you are taken to doesn't have any content (pornographic or otherwise) related to the Time Lord's latest sidekick. Instead, you'll find what appears to be a portal for an Asian hardcore porn video website," Cluley explains.
"Clicking on the video thumbnails is definitely ill-advised. When I examined the page, I found that each of the videos were masking a secret Twitter follow button."
