I think our story makes an interesting and valid point about a new tactic used by spammers - and I don't think all embedded images are inherently safe: people lose their jobs because of porn on their hard drives. However, on reflection do think my headline "Outlook's security compromised by spammers" is too broad, so I've changed it to more accurately reflect the content of the story.

Best,
