Samsung's website compromised, look out

If you are looking for some kind of product information for your new DVD player or Samsung TV, beware. Samsung's website has a keylogging Trojan lurking around. Please, what ever you do, be careful (as if I need to tell you) . It really sucks to have your computer compromised, not to mention your identity due to someone else's security breach. In general most users should be okay going directly to Samsung's site, but those going through IM or email links may have trouble. The Trojan also requires that a user accept a download (which may seem legitimate) so it isn't like you'll have no choice in the matter. Another thing is please alert your less-savvy friends and relatives, because things like this are tricky to gauge when they look but aren't in fact legitimate. This public service announcement (not) brought to you by the news.
