The first images crafted to contain a malicious program that can take control of a PC have been found on the net.
Security experts have been expecting such images to turn up after Microsoft revealed a weakness in the way Windows handles the popular Jpeg format.

If you were going to use a picture to get a buffer overrun what would you attach it to? Pics of a puppy? No you would use porn, sex sells.

When I used to "administrate" other people's computer we would send the client disguised as a porn program or if the person was not computer savy we would say it was a picture. This is nothing new.

Funny, way back in the day I was reading a magazine article about usenet and the writer said porn on the internet wasn't all that bad. It was usually harmless pics of puppies when the poster said it was porn.
