Suspicious PM in my Inbox

Moderator/Admin, please check my Inbox for message dated July 9 @ 1:04am. Appears that someone may have used my LYN account to cheat another user.

FYI, I have not logged into LYN for many many many moons already - if there had been recent "activities" prior to this, then my account has been compromised.

Possible Streamyx Webmail Phishing Attempt?

husagi — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 15:37:14 +0800

Did anyone receive an SMS this morning (timestamp 27 June 2007, around 9:15am), from short code 63333 (this is a TMNet-registered shortcode), stating the following?

QUOTE

TM Net: Important notice at your <az34k@streamyx.com>. Go to webmail.tm.net.my and and login with your streamyx password

What threw me off was that the account name az34k@streamyx.com is not my account, but it was stated as such, in my SMS.

Moreover, when I downloaded my Streamyx emails via POP3 protocol instead of via the Webmail interface, I found no such "Important Notice" from TMNet today.

Anyone else received similar SMS this morning?

It's a week-old news, but for those unaware, Gaim (the ever popular multi-protocol IM client) has been renamed Pidgin, following a legal settlement with AOL recently.

Beastie retiring?

This is sorta old news (3 weeks old), but since I didn't see this posted anywhere here before, I'll do the honor.

FreeBSD Foundation is calling for participation in designing a new logo. Looks like the beastie we BSD fans came to love _may_ be retiring... as a logo anyway. Thank heavens they're keeping beastie as their mascot!
