No doubt they will be attempting to game search engine results, too, although this will  be a lot tougher to accomplish than it was during the big Conficker scare.

The usual cautions apply: Avoid unverified email attachments. The same goes for links in unsolicited emails. If you are researching swine flu online, look at search result links with a jaundiced eye. Better yet, go straight to one of the authoritative web sites and work from there. The World Health Organization’s Influenza A(H1N1) is a good starting point, as is a similar page maintained by the U.S.-based Centers for Disease Control.

Be careful out there.
