Beware of hacker bothering CD users
Had an interesting experience tonight. Someone with screen name "LiLWsTsiDeOuTLaW" IMed me out of no where in the middle of the night, saying How r u I need hlp with outlook u from that robot thing right from that forum right ken?
As I try to figure out what he (I assume he's a he) needed help with, he kept changing the topic, something about an error with command prompt, and then something about a problem on his computer.

All I can say is... Becareful about random people IMing you trying to send you files... I am only bringing this up because he got my AIM screen name on Chief Delphi, and if he can get mine he can get anyone else's. He may or may not be related to the recent attacks on this forum.
Just thought I should bring it up...
