[i]Local TV reporters are infamous for practicing "ambush" journalism -- but as they try to take their gotcha practices to the Web, increasingly they're the ones ambushed.....

...Curtis believes that Phillips, or someone working with Phillips, sent him and several other Fark employees deceptive emails in an attempt to get them to download a trojan, a form of computer virus...

In one case, it succeeded, giving a hacker passwords to a file server and one Fark employee's email account.. [ QUOTE ]
