![]() While monitoring the incoming searches on my machine, I notice that there are a number of search terms which are continually flashing up. These include: warman data Everen policy peter martin amongst others. They are present every day. Does anyone know the purpose of these "searches"? (Limewire 4.12.15 pro). |

![]() Thanks guys, I am just curious.I have noted these strings for some weeks now, on every occasion that I connect. Just out of curiosity I entered some innocuous files bearing the same names in my library, but they are ignored. |

![]() I Personally think these type searches are similar to Phishing. There is an unusual amount of File Sharing Members that actually and unknowingly Share EVERYTHING on their HDD. This is when and why you may see these strange search results. Basiclly they are Phishing for Personal Data i.e. Bank Accnt. #'s, CC #'s, Policy #'s, or anything they can get their grubby little hands on. Once they retrieve enough personal info, the identity of the victim can now be stolen. ![]() My .02 cents |
