IM Security Alert.

Security alert for IM peoples!

Have you ever receive a message something like this below from your friend?

They logged in, sent you an IM with a freakly weird address, and then logs out.


This is one of my IM interface I received yesterday. My friend 'logged' in, then send you something like the link above and then logs out. Your message will not send to them even that you have replied to them (even though the Offline Messaging is supported).

Similar with this, they send you an attachment like 'photo of my party' with a small size in .zip format... inside also includes virus that can destroy you HDD if your anti virus is not strong enough.

I just heard about that these are viruses or hacks from the site. Anyway, just be careful about that. Make sure you don't click to these websites if you found that site is fishy. Ask your friends once more to make sure that it is the right site.
