Shoutbox

I was out of the room and when I came back in, I noticed this weird notification in my event viewer. It said that this non-contact had signed in, changed their name and personal message, and signed out.

I checked my contact list just to be sure, and I've been googling and searching everywhere to find out if it's some kind of bug or something. I really couldn't find anything out about it, though admittedly, I'm not the best at gleaning information. Still, the email seems suspicious. "fashion-guess@hotmail.com".

Anyway, I don't know if anyone has had a similar thing happen, but I'm hoping I can get some answers. I'm thinking it could be some kind of adware...thing. But how it would work, I really don't know, and I didn't find anything when I searched it, so eh. Not so sure how plausible it is, unless it's brand new.

That really couldn't happen. Either you have that ID in your contact list or allow list (Tools > Options > Privacy > Allow List). Other wise, its impossible.

Well...it did happen, and they aren't in my contact list, so I guess it must be possible to some extent, because I didn't imagine it.

I checked my contact list several times before coming to the conclusion that I still didn't know that person and had never added them before, so even if it were an error of ignorance, I am almost positive I'd have caught it. I've just checked it again, and still, nothing.

I'll pull up the log history as further proof if I must.

If it's that hard to believe, I'll even screenshot my contact list in the various ways one can explore it, but I'd rather not go through the trouble and just hope someone's either going to tell me to do something I haven't done before, or that they'll recognize the problem and have an explaination. But anyway, here's the bit of the log that's relevant:

Like I said, I have checked the contact list time and time again, and unless I've become totally inept at finding people, this person never has been and, likely, never will be on my list. Allowed or disallowed.

er, showing your friends' email addresses publicly really isnt the best idea.

It's not my friend. It's the source of the problem. It's a random person I've never had on my contact list before. If I had any of my friends' emails in there, I'd have censored them.
