I'm telling you, there are lots of stupids XXD Once I've made an account on Yahoo (y_account_hacker) and I forwarded the message in my mail list: "Send your yahoo id, your password and the person you want to hack's id and this yahoo account hacker will send you that person's id." I wass stunned to see that I got over 20 mails that days. O.O I could've been evil, but I've only annoyed one guy XXD

Yeah, I know some of those, 'specially the "Microsoft Firefox 2007"... That really scared the c@rp out of me!

oh and Breeze, hoaxes like those are plenty on the internet, the bad thing is, that some were intended for stealing paypal accounts... Now "that's" a bad one!

But unlike yours, those were really "cleeveeer":

"Recently, russian hackers found a way to bypass the security of the Yahoo/MSN/Google servers, and designed a bot that will send you an email containing the password of a certain email address. What you have to do is send an email with the following content

!---Code=%312-----

@xvid-snooper;
^admin-order:76346; (to confuse the mailing bot)

@xvid-req-rec:EMAIL;
!6dSAh(VOID); (to confuse the bot)

&adm_ovrrid:PASSWORD;
%Order+priority=!1; (you want your email today, don'cha?)

$and_target_email:TARGET EMAIL;
%Void(clear_all_dt); (you don't want the Yahoo/MSN/Google staff to know you snooped around, do you?

----------!

Just replace EMAIL with your email, so the bot thinks your the admin, the PASSWORD with your account password, so you prove, you ARE the admin , and the TARGET EMAIL with the email that you wish to know the password of.

And in the following 4 hours you'll get an email from the bot with the password of the TARGET EMAIL. Use it while you still can, since you never know when Yahoo/MSN/Google might detect the flaw in their system!"
