Identity Stealing Love Chat Bot
Lonely and desperate? The writers of a love chat bot in Russia sure hope so. The chatbot is designed to trick the people with whom it interacts into sharing personal details, even financial info, as part of a large identity theft operation. As of now, it doesn't speak English, but who knows how long it will be until we see it or other copycats popping up over here.

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.
