ATLANTA (AP) -- While computer users are getting smarter about
spotting suspicious e-mails, hackers are looking for sneakier ways to
spread malicious codes.

.....A report by Georgia Tech says that online video players could be
come the next target for hackers.

Experts say hackers have moved from sending spam to embedding unwanted
codes in images or disguising them as documents. And they think the
next logical step is to target media players, like the ones used to
watch YouTube videos.

They're also worried about the security of blogs, wikis and social
networking sites.
