Warning sounded over ‘flirting robots’
Those entering online dating forums risk having more than their hearts stolen.
A program that can mimic online flirtation and then extract personal information from its unsuspecting conversation partners is making the rounds in Russian chat forums, according to security software firm PC Tools.
The artificial intelligence of CyberLover’s automated chats is good enough that victims have a tough time distinguishing the “bot” from a real potential suitor, PC Tools said. The software can work quickly too, establishing up to 10 relationships in 30 minutes, PC Tools said. It compiles a report on every person it meets complete with name, contact information, and photos.
As a tool that can be used by hackers to conduct identity fraud, CyberLover demonstrates an unprecedented level of social engineering,” PC Tools senior malware analyst Sergei Shevchenko said in a statement.
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.
Although the program is currently targeting Russian Web sites, PC Tools is urging people in chat rooms and social networks elsewhere to be on the alert for such attacks. Their recommendations amount to just good sense in general, such as avoiding giving out personal information and using an alias when chatting online. The software company believes that CyberLover’s creators plan to make it available worldwide in February.
Robot chatters are just one type of social-engineering attack that uses trickery rather than a software flaw to access victim’s valuable information. Such attacks have been on the rise and are predicted to continue to grow.

There is a beta floating around I forgot where for this ..is a bit buggy though but it should work. I had it once but I forgot where I got it from it was just too much stuff to fill out that it got to a point where it was hard but now that I read about it might as well have it again!
If anyone has a beta or official releases…please post a RS link ;D

sounds like fun but for me as long as it can pick up girls all i will have to do is give them my address lol and run to the store and pick of some condoms extra big lol.
file this one under morons…. if you can’t tell you’re talking to a bot, you need your interwebs revoked.

“You want sex [insert name here]?”
Anyway, I’d love to try this thing out.
they should make one of these to piss offthose sick Pervertd Justice Fu(ks,lol where can i get this?
I’m not afraid to say that I have picked up quite a few hotties on the internet. There is nothing to be ashamed of, and it can even be a perfect example of supply and demand when it comes to sexual needs.
And it is a myth that people from the net are not hot, the last guy I picked up had one of the largest schlong’s that I’ve ever had.
Home Run! o.o haha. Im sexy and single give me your credit number and ill show you my raisins.
sad thing is people really are stupid…. here the thing if someone is flirting with you and all u have is a piss poor description about yourself.. its safe to say yeah its a bot!! and if you look ugly as i do u know any sort of flirting is a scam anyway!!!
And now into something completely different:

This bot only works on Russians who are drunk, which explains why it is so successful.

Check out the A.I chat bot ALICE or Jabberwacky. As long as you stick to full sentences on the same topic they will answer similar to human on a chat room.
i can guarantee this only works on the male chatters. male chatters will respond to a GIRL NAME… thats all you need basically. the bot can be very stupid, as long as it has girl name…
You’ve got to be completely stupid to not be able to tell a robot from a human online. That or you’re typing with one hand and doing something else with your other hand lol
asl?….2 minutes delay
what do u do?….more delays.
Cant be worse than the Filipino women who chat to me.
Anyone noticed that it says 2005 in the title bar?
hmm Maybe Adam and Andrew could get together, you seams to have the same taste in men…or… something.
