I think someone hacked into my Messenger: Is it possible? by astromonk on 11-03-2004 at 12:51 AM
I was having a conversation with a friend and text was being written with my nick and my font, without me actually touching my keyboard. I see only 2 possible scenarios:
1. My friend got his hands on some Messenger exploit or was changing his nick and font back and forth...
2. A third party somehow hacked into my messenger and started writing for me...
Anybody here heard of something like this?
I got quite upset with my friend because some obscenities were being typed and whoever it was, was making a fool out of me, so any help is appreciated.

what did your friend say when you asked him/her what was going on ??

When I told him what was going on he said it wasn't him.
Later I called him on his phone and he gave me some answers that sounded odd...
I suspect it was him... but I'm not quite sure.

this is a feature of messenger discovery called !imitate
the person using this feature can "imitate" the other contact's nickname and font face and color and msg to that person
see www.messengerdiscovery.com
EDIT: you don't have to worry because you are NOT being hacked, all he/she is doing is copying your nickname and font style then sending messages

Well, he confessed...
What a wiseass up to no good.
I have a score to settle with him now...
I'm gonna mug him or something, LOL 
not really....
