For you LJ users out there, you might want to read this:

Tesser Activity

Apparently, there is a hacker relay bot that uses AIM on the loose. It takes your AIM name and another AIM user and links the two, each starting with the phrase, "I say, old bean, have you seen my hat?"

The above link explains how it works, and just be aware that if you receive this message from a screenname you don't know, don't respond. Just block the user.

Heh, I was all worried that it was a way people were hacking into your LJ.

Knowing my luck, I've been IMed by this person and just closed the IM screen, as did the other person. I've lately been getting IMed a lot lately by spam bots. They've become slightly more sophisticated than just initially IMing their link and message saying, "Hey I'm a hot, naive college girl and I want you to check me out on my webcam <3 <3 <3!!"

Now it says hello, asks you what's up among other introductory questions, and THEN springs the porn link on you.

I got IMed by the creator of the bot. A little miffed that I threatened to turn him in to the authorities. And he just kept bothering me. Wanted me to prove myself to him. After a while, I just stopped answering him, and he went away.

I'm not an idiot, folks. And, it is totally possible for someone to go legitimate. Didn't believe that I was DHS or anything else. But, I'm not here to prove anything to anyone. I have chosen my path in life, and being a hacker just isn't part of that anymore. Regardless of the fact that I may or may not be tracked anymore, I don't plan on doing anything remotely largely illegal any time soon. Or, ever.

But, it is a relay bot, so I'm not too familiar with the chat network, but it could prove to be a loophole somewhere. I'd say keep the antivirus and firewalls up, and if you have it, enable friends-only convos. And, if you're lucky, maybe the creator will bother you too because he's bored and likes to call people nutcases.

Well, I am a nutcase. I admit to it. But, I have a nice job with EA Games, I am attending school to get my degree and certificate, I write stories, and I just live my life. Don't need some idiot going around the net calling me a fraud. But, if he does, I don't care.

I have forgotten so much, become so rusty, that I don't even try anymore. If you piss me off, that's it. Nothing more. I can't/won't do anything anymore. I'm too much of an adult to try anything anymore. I like my limited freedom. I like my life.

Anyway, back on topic. It's pretty harmless, a little ingenious, but probably the work of some bitter paramilitary sixteen year old with a frustrated hard-on because he can't get laid.
