Chinese Cyberspies Use [fears of] PRISM (and Petraeus) As Bait in Malware

http://j.mp/1a4qbMz  (FP)

   "Cyberspies have wasted no time exploiting the release of secret
    document about the National Security Agency's digital surveillance
    methods. Just this week, a new spearphishing campaign that tries
    to lure its victims by sending a malware-laden email that claims
    to have information on PRISM, the NSA's famous program that
    [falsely has been claimed to collect - Lauren] information on
    people's Internet activities.  The best part about this email?
    It's designed to look like it's from Jill Kelley, the woman who
    played a role in revealing David Petraeus' affair with Paula
    Broadwell."
