Of course, it's not unexpected, and we all know things like this have happened before... But doesn't it seem just a teeny bit alarmist (not to mention irresponsible) to say "Online pornography hunters' Internet adventures are already fraught with danger from malicious code many porn sites use to commandeer visitors' machines or steal personal data....Now comes a scheme some researchers say amounts to extortion..."?

"Many porn sites," Yahoo!? Really?

**I'd post a link, but I don't post enough to be able to yet; sorry! Article title is "Hidden dangers in visiting porn sites" reported last night via AP.
