We actually discussed your blog post about Evony a few days ago, and I wanted to contact you with the real email of tsenseless (which is easy enough to find) but I'm not that cruel. I posted a fake one on purpose btw, just to scare him, but I don't think he would care anymore that he cares about personal anonymity. He actually pays people to spam for him (2 pesos each blog comment that stays on), but given that all the posts came from one or two IPs, I don't think he had many takers. Anyway, I should have linked to your article in my blog post, and that oversight has been corrected. Regarding the Evony game client, without admitting anything like hacking their source code and connecting to their servers until we got a cease and desist request from a guy who may or may not represent them, I can say confidently that the possibility of it being a malware is near nonexistent. Regarding the iEvony client, I have no idea, and I do recommend people not install it and not use the iEvony spam reward program. I seriously doubt though that it has any malware. It's more likely some people sent e-mails without being aware they did, or even that other players somehow found their email addresses and friends lists and spammed them with spoofed return addresses. Can you verify by comparing the IPs of the email sender with the IPs of your friends computers? Hi Bruce, thank you for the comment!
