I've been in contact last week with my younger brother through Google Chat. We are in two different continents. He is in a journey, so I am waiting to hear from him via IM in the next 24-48 hours. Last time I had a contact with him was on Friday before he left. He left me offline messages. My understanding is that he used public computers to send the message. Right after that, it appears his account has been compromised. That does not worry me because we created new emails just for this. I knew there was the chance of using it in public. Since Friday I have been bombarded with all kinds of crap from his account via Google chat. I know it is a bot not human being directing the crap because of the frequency and constant and relentless activity. I can't block his account because I need to hear from him and that is the way we agreed to get in touch. He has my number and can call me but I don't know if he will get an access to international phone from the place he will be (he is going to remote area). I know there are plenty of other ways he can get to me, but they just take more time. I hate receiving all this crap while I patiently wait to hear from him so I can block his address permanently. :mad:

hopefully his IM won't seem like one of the spam messages... good luck!

Not at all, I will recognize that easily. Sometimes it is a plus to know more than one language ;)

If the account is compromised how do you know they haven't changed the password? Perhaps you should clear your communication channel with him as he may not be able to log in with that account.

That is possible. I don't have any way to verify that until I hear from him. What I've observed so far is that, since I received his last genuine message on Friday, I've been bombarded with crap. I am assuming the public computer he used was compromised and he might have left his session open. It is possible that the first *they* did was to change his password. But I am hoping that there is a bot that hijacked his session in that public computer and his password is not changed. In any case, all I am waiting is to get a word from him and then the whole ordeal will be over. I don't care if his account is compromised as it was only opened last week, there is no contact or any valuable in there and the only thing it knows is my fake email address. As for out IM there is nothing we have exchanged that makes us concerned. In the worst case of scenario, if he account password is changed, then he will not able to log in, I won't able to hear from him that much sooner, I want be able to know if that is because of this issue or other issue, instead of 1-2 days I may hear from him in 3-5 days. That is all.

Even this is a really nice solution, it has it's drawbacks: 1. It fails quite often after signin in and others can't see you. 2. His brother is using public computers so probably Skype is not installed there... Anyway it is a really nice way to contact people.

1. Create an account for each day before leaving the country (Bro20110221@gmail.com; Bro20110222@...). 2. Use other ways to chat: skype can be used through shapeservices IM+ at the web ()[^] 3. Possibly a CDROM with a PE with skype or similar capabilities could do it... 4. Laptop with any wifi hacking tool (backtrack, wifiway,...). 5. write a program that removes all the sentences that don't start with a specific word... 6. I've run out of ideas... Good luck...

You're going to wait forever. The password must be different now, so the chances of your friend sending you an email are bleak. In any case, you could setup a filter to route all the emails from that address into a folder and give it a good look after a day or so to see if there's anything from your friend.

:( that is not an issue. There is given time frame I'll wait for him (today & tomorrow). If I don't hear from him by that time frame then it going to be plan B.

Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately it is coming into my Google chat not email. May be there is a way to filter the content, I did not look very hard. The only thing I noticed is to block the user, which I don't want to do at this time. At this time it is annoyance which I plan to tolerate for today and tomorrow. At the end of day tomorrow I will block his account and end of story. He can reach me through other means, but that takes longer.

You never knew Nish in his prime. He had a < 1 kbps connection, and I had a 2 Mbps connection, but he still managed to out-post me. Those of us here at the time dubbed him, 'Nishbot.'

I remember vividly those times. I have been around for long long time, for most part I was (to some degree still am) a lurker. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
