It looked to me like another of those "we're the sysadmins so send us your password" scams - they're trying to hijack ICQ accounts. Same general procedure as the Nigerian bank account hackers. Quite what you can do with a stolen ICQ account I have no idea. Perhaps if the account is used for confidential transactions by someone like a doctor, solicitor, prostitute or financial adviser, you could acquire some data that might be worth money if exploited in the right way. =================== <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> =================== To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
