Help required regarding KDE Telepathy IM

[Nikhil bhalwankar]

Hi Martin,

I remember that one of the account was XMPP which was automatically configured. Also at the time of installation, I did a fresh install by deleting all the partitions. I thought it might be a hacking attempt and deleted those accounts. Is it something to worry about? Please let me know.


 
Many Thanks,
Nikhil Bhalwankar

This is just a guess but haven't you by any chance started your laptop on a 
public network with many Apple/linux devices present? My guess is that fedora 
automatically creates a  local xmpp account, which discovers users in your 
area. check the type of the accounts.

If you had previously installed linux where you used telepathy, and haven't 
deleted the partition, it is possible that your previous settings are being 
used.
