MSN spam

Post by scotopik »

I love Adium, but I am growing tired of the MSN invite spam I keep getting, like this:

Hey xxxxxxx check out http://Look2381.com

I've tried changing my MSN privacy settings to "Alow only contacts on my contact list", but to no avail.

Any ideas/tips?

Cheers.

Bummer no one knows what to do with this. Looks like I'm going to have to uninstall Adium. I'll recheck in the future to see if it's been fixed.

It's a pleg. I don't understand how they can hack MSN accounts. Before I was thinking that persons hacked are victim of pishing, but apparently not all.

For exemple, my mother wich never use MSN has been hacked and her account sent me sometimes this type of messages : "hey, hi, come to watch my sex pics". Very funny. But she don't know her account name or password so she can't be a victim of pishing.

So, how they can find it ?
