Security experts have warned Australians to be careful from malicious software that is circulating along with news of the royal baby on the emails.

The Sydney Morning Herald reports that security firm Trend Micro had spotted one particular type of message disguised as news on royal baby that contains link to malicious software.

According to the report, if a user does not have appropriate anti-virus protection, it installs the malware called Zbot which can steal data, including online logins for banks.

The mails started to appear only half a day after the official announcement of the royal baby's birth, the report added.
