"Virtual Terrorists" are not so big. Spoofing email return adresses, big
wow. Oooh, stealing some stuff from their cache! They are so amazing!

Seriously, all those people running around saying AW is under
attack/worlds are gonna be "hacked" etc... they all need to be told that
it's just a load of kids trying to play mind games. The thing with
Myra... reports on that ranged from stuff like "Come to Myra LOL" to
"OMGZ WORLDS HAVE BEEN HACKED". Of course most of the people here know
that all they did was get the OP pass in transit and make propdumps from
their cache. Anyone who thinks these people are a threat to AW needs to
be told otherwise. It's seriously annoying me.

Also, don't trust any email, even if it appears to come from AW staff.
You all know the trick where they'll try and steal your pass, but it
seems (from the object path passwords cracked post) that they are
spoofing emails to try and dirty the names of AW staff members. I saw
many in that thread jump in and instantly believe it was from Bill... if
it had been asking for a password or something you would have known it
was spoofed right away, of course, but it seems they just want to make
people hate AWI, which isn't such an obvious scam.

You need to check the headers of an email message to see who it was from
.... if you get something suspicious forward it to abuse at activeworlds.com
(don't reply to the suspicious email) and I assure you the REAL Bill
Hoover will answer :)

Check and see if the headers have anything to do with Netfirms ...that's
one service that is being abused ...

Would be nice if whoever keeps sending these mails would add a valid reply
address. So everyone could tell him what a stupid moron (s)he is.

I can't wait to see (s)he'll do next...

Yea... the main point of my post was actually, if you see anyone in AW
who thinks these people are big, make sure they understand they're not.
It annoys me when people run around saying "HACKERS ARE COMING" and stuff.

I would liek to say first off Bill has more of an education that the morons
who wrote the spoofed letter. If you are even half competant in the English
language you would see that the sentences are poorly contstructed. Anyways
if you are going to spoof someone make sure you know how to write in their
native tounge.
