Alicia Keys woke up this morning with a few less friends. When the singer (or more likely, her marketing team) decided to add a new background to the songstress’ MySpace page, they didn’t realize that the image was embedded with what people a lot tech-savvier than us would call a “Trojan Horse.” A large portion of Keys’ page has shrouded with the hidden link, which re-routed friends to a Chinese malware server. You know malware, it’s that endearing software that seeks to infiltrate your computer to either steal your personal information or just shut it down it with a good ol’ virus. We went to the Keys’ page, and while we were reluctant to click anything there, it does seem like there was a hovering icon that begs the user to “Click Here.” We’re not sure if that was the Trojan or one of MySpace’s crazy ads, and there was no way we were going to click to find out. So tread cautiously, Keys fans.
