We and our readers do a lot of teasing and, yes, grumbling about covering The Twilight Saga here at Dread Central, but I’m pretty sure none of us would stoop to malicious hacking of fans of the series. Unfortunately that’s not the case for everyone. Read on for the sordid details.

Mashable reports that according to experts at Norton, hackers are taking advantage of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn fans by poisoning links in Twilight-related searches with malware. Some of the search terms that will return results infected with malware are “nude pictures of Taylor Lautner,” “Robert and Kristen kissing” and “Twilight true love.” Norton’s experts expect to see even more Twilight-related malware, scams and spam as the excitement around the movie grows in advance of its release later this week on November 18th so be careful out there on the World Wide Web!

Synopsis:
The highly anticipated fourth installment of The Twilight Saga, directed by Academy Award® winner Bill Condon, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 reveals the mysteries of this romantic epic that has entranced millions.

In The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson), plus those they love, must deal with the chain of consequences brought on by a marriage, honeymoon, and the tumultuous birth of a child… which brings an unforeseen and shocking development for Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).

With more of the romance, passion, intrigue, and action that made Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse worldwide blockbusters, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, based on Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling book series, begins the conclusion of the tale of vampire love, boundless friendship, acceptance, and finding your true self.

Stephenie Meyer is a worldwide publishing phenomenon. The translation rights for her four Twilight novels have been sold in nearly 50 countries, and 116 million copies have been sold worldwide. Her books have been on the bestseller list for over 142 weeks, and counting.

The first of a two-part adaptation, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 is directed by Bill Condon (Dreamgirls, Gods and Monsters) from a screenplay by Melissa Rosenberg, based on the novel Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner star.
