themissinghat: FAQ For The Missing Hat Community as of
My internet friend lily (the huge fatty loot whore) had something interesting happen to her. It seems there’s an AIM bot that spoofs two people into thinking they both started a convo with each other. Nobody knows what’s going on.
Is this bot dangerous/have I been hacked?
This bot has not exhibited any dangerous attributes but that doesn’t mean it is benign. That being said, new bots initiating conversations that start with “i say, old bean, have you seen my hat?” are “Hatting” people all the time. There is a chance copy-cats with malicious intentions could start appearing. We’re trying to keep as updated a list as we can. Practice safe AIM netiquette, because you are in a conversation with someone you don’t know, do not click on links until you have verified what they are and only if you trust that other person. Please post to this community if you have any problems with any particular bot so that we can let others know.
