 <\/p>\n

Although some users are just tweeting<\/strong> their respects at the “news<\/strong>” of Adam Ant’s death, others are posting a link to what appear to be an online news report about the musical group death.<\/p>\n

It’s a very depressing story. Or at smallest amount, it would be if it was true.<\/p>\n

Here’s what you observe if you go after the link.<\/p>\n

Do you notice the “adam.ant” in the url? I wonder what happens if I change that to include my own name.<\/p>\n

Well imagine that – I’m a dead musician!<\/p>\n

Some small print, built-in at the bottom of the webpage in a tiny font give the game away for anyone who hasn’t realised that the report is utterly bogus:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

FAKE<\/strong>… THIS STORY IS 100% FAKE! This is an activity website, and this is a totally fake article based on zero truth and is a total work of fiction for activity purposes! This story was dynamically generated using a generic pattern and is not factual.<\/p>\n

Of course, the pure number of people tweeting out the link won’t have done any damage at all for the website – which presumably is earn income from the adverts plastered on its imaginary news report.Always think cautiously before believing contravention news that someone has shared with you on the net. If a major news outlet has not established it to be true, it’s likely that you could be falling for a confidence trick.<\/p>\n

Just imagine the damage that could occur if there was malware lying in wait at the finish of that salacious news story link?No hesitation this won’t be the last time that a rumour spreads swiftly across the internet that a celebrity has died. keep in mind when Christian Slater was killed in a snowboarding accident? Or Tom Cruise fell to his death off a cliff in New Zealand? Or Johnny Depp came to a sticky end in a car crash?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
