Heartless hackers are exploiting the death of Amy Winehouse by urging fans to download an "unreleased track" featuring the tragic singer - and linking to a computer virus instead.
The Back to Black hitmaker's goddaughter, Dionne Bromfield, was targeted by cyber crooks who cracked the password for her Twitter.com account on Wednesday (19Oct11).
They then bombarded her 62,000 followers with the message, "One of my Unreleased Tracks Feat Amy Winehouse Download Here" alongside a website address - but the file on the link contained a nasty virus.
The 15 year old was forced to take to her Facebook page to warn fans not to be fooled by the scam, writing, "Guys, please ignore any tweets from my twitter page for the time being. I've been hacked! Lousy hackers! Don't go clicking any of the links please til we sort it out please x."
Winehouse was found dead at her London home in July (11). An inquest to establish the cause of her death will be held later this month (Oct11).
