Post News, Flirty Chat-Room 'Bot' Out to Steal Your Identity.
Be careful next time you get accosted by a flirty stranger in an Internet chatroom: He or she could just be a Russian chat-up bot out to steal your identity.

Internet security experts say that Russian programmers have created a piece of software known as CyberLover that can infiltrate dating sites and chatrooms and patiently seduce its victims.

The "bot" solicits and collects information such as home addresses, telephone numbers and personal photographs, which are then used to compile a profile that can be sold on to identity thieves.

"Botmaster says that the its software can make the acquaintance of between 10 and 20 people in half an hour.

"It's a fact," it declares, "that not a single girl has yet guessed that she is talking with a computer program!""

Not sure whether that is a slam at single girls or men??? Were the girls blond? Did they think they were talking to engineers?
