CNet has\u00a0 a report<\/a> on a program developed by Russian hackers which poses as a person looking for “friends” online. Basically it starts flirting with people with and then extracts personal information from them. It is claimed to be able to establish 10 “relationships” in 1\/2 an hour and can then produce a report on every person it meets with name, contact information, photos etc. Excerpt:<\/p>\n

Among CyberLover’s creepy features is its ability to offer a range of different profiles from “romantic lover” to “sexual predator.” It can also lead victims to a “personal” Web site, which could be used to deliver malware, PC Tools said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But anyway, if you start flirting with someone online and lose everything, don’t say you weren’t warned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
