pretty weird stuff happening. I need to go enlist lmao

I thought it was 3. 2 at the marathon and 1 at JFK Library.

100 Injured 2 dead I'm watching it at work right now and JFK was a fire not a bomb no one injured at JFK scene.

Pretty weird bombing. It was a nice event to be ruined.

Damn, this shit is getting crazy.

I love how people are assuming it was north Korea attack. If North Korea was to attack us in some way they wouldn't be using some little pipe bombs IMO. Unless this is North Koreas first " Nuke " Attack kinda pathetic lol I hope not.

No way was this some sort of attack from another country I don't think so at least. This is some act of hate from some lonely guy who wishes he could run but is to depressed so he takes it out on others.

If it was from another country then I'm shocked.

This is crazy and all over the news

Conspiracy theorist:

Hmm, I dont know what to believe yet. :3

this is awful I feel bad for everyone that went to the event

BOSTON UPDATE: IMPORTANT;READ

Security officers order staff, media to clear Boston courthouse
Reuters – 50 mins ago


BOSTON (Reuters) - Security officials on Wednesday ordered staff, media and attorneys to evacuate Boston's federal courthouse, according to a Reuters reporter on the scene.
Scores of people could be seen leaving the building. No further details were immediately available.
"Get away from the building. I can't stress this enough, people," a uniformed law enforcement official yelled at the crowd.

It looks as they now have a suspect.

Just hours after the Boston Marathon bombings Monday (April 15), scammers were already using the tragedy to fuel their malware campaigns, according to a study by Romanian anti-virus firm Bitdefender.

The study found that the words "marathon," "Boston" and "explosion" found their way into the subject headers of one out of every five spam messages in the hours and days following the event.

The use of news events to spread malware is nothing new for scammers. Just last month, scammers used the news of the pope's installment as bait for email victims. Emails containing links to malware-laden sites were circulated with subject lines such as "New Pope Sued for Not Wearing Seatbelt in Popemobile."

But this week’s spam strikes a more somber note. With subject headers such as "Aftermath to Explosion at Boston Marathon" and "Boston Explosion Caught on Video," these emails aim to ensnare those looking for more information about the attacks.

According to Bitdefender's Hot for Security blog, the emails contain links to malicious websites using URLs ending with "news.html" and "boston.html."

When clicked, the links direct users to a seemingly innocuous YouTube page displaying videos of the bombings. But after a short delay, an executable file is activated and the malware installs itself on victims' computers.

Bitdefender identified the malware as Trojan.GenericKDZ.14575, a component of the infamous RedKit browser exploit pack — the same malware that recently infected visitors to the NBC website.

The Trojan is a password stealer that can grab users’ account passwords directly from their browsers. The malware also monitors network traffic of infected computers and may be used to steal Bitcoin wallets, send emails and download other malware.

As TechNewsDaily reported in the hours following the Boston bombings, Internet users need to remain alert in the wake of major news events.

Be wary of unsolicited emails, even those you receive from friends. If you want to donate to victims, do so only through charity organizations you know and trust.

Last but not least, make sure your anti-virus software warns your Web browser about malicious links.
