So another interesting IM related spam event occurred today as well. While working on something or other, I was interrupted by an AIM chat invite. Unfortunately, it occurred just as I was hitting [enter], and so I ended up accidentally accepting the invite and being taken to the chat room. As soon as I had entered, it was fairly obvious that it was some sort of attempt at spamming or hacking (virus-infecting), and so I was about to just exit the room. However, the general chaos and confusion created by all of the people coming and going and by the number of bots (trying to get people to click on links in their profile) struck me as somewhat fascinating, and so I decided to leave the window open and just watch. Maybe I am just weird, but I found it sort of interesting. So anyhow, if anyone else is curious, here is a transcript of the chat room incident:

Regretably, I did not think to view the bots’ profiles or check the URL of the links in any of the bots’ profiles, and so I have no clue what site(s) it actually takes you to.
the best ones are:
Kennethcole85 (7:25:58 PM): i don’t think i even no anyone in here
XoShannonQToX (7:29:10 PM): ne1 in here smoke pot?
I had a similar thing happen to me last week. I received a chat invitation from a username that I didn’t recognize, so I just closed it out. On the chat invitation, there was one of those annoying “Click Me!” links in the white box where the “invitation message” was supposed to be.

That is splendid.
