**Note that some non-Muslims are intentionally spreading viruses by making fake announcements about ‘Eidul Fitr—as soon as you open the web page your computer will be attacked.
Do not open Eid announcement from www.patriceanderson.com. Patrice Anderson appears to be from Houston, TX and runs a website that shows some expertise with web development, including apparently some knowledge of security which she is using to compromise the computers of Muslims in contravention of the law. (“patrice.anderson: front-end web developer, sometimes designer and perpetual learner.â€) Will not give the live link to the page with the virus here.
We have notified authorities and are awaiting their response to this malicious act by Patrice Anderson.
