Fake email reports US has already started bombing Syria
http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/fake-email-says-us-has-already-started-bombing-syria-8C11093955

A fake email is being sent saying that the United States has begun bombing Syria.
First, that's not true, and second, do not open the email. It contains malware.

Kaspersky Lab said it started seeing the emails Friday morning ET.

"We're currently seeing a spam run which involves a (fake) report from CNN saying that
the US have started bombing Syria," wrote Roel Schouwenberg of Kaspersky Lab Expert on
the security company's blog.
