You might be surprised (and infected) if you search for nude Rihanna pics

The internets are buzzing � pictures of an allegedly naked Rihanna were posted on Friday.

Inevitably, the curious or libidinous will search for these pictures. And they just might find a few suprises.

Right now, if you search for �rihanna nude� on Google, you might get some odd results.

The third search result is a page on Microsoft�s Technet, pushing malware. And just further down, is another link which leads to malware.

Here�s how the technet.com page looks (this has already been reported and should be gone soon):

Which when clicked, leads to a celebsxx net, a malware site pushing a malicious fake codec.

Further down, a seperate search result leads to a page at uvouch.com, with a similar fake video image, which when clicked leads to another malicious fake codec site, fonblog net.

The malware campaign itself is nothing special. Just a fake user profile, with a simple animated gif linking to a malware site.

Same type of thing happening with Malin Ackerman (female star of the Watchmen).

...and plenty of other celebrities. A search of the Uvouch site itself is telling. The top results here all point to similar malware links (Megan Fox, Zoe Saldana, Tila Tequila, and so on):

So, no big surprises here. A spicy subject. Sex. Not-so-perfectly secured social networking environments. The result? Boattloads of people getting infected.
