Odigo Users Warned Of WTC Attack?

from the seems-fishy dept

I’m not sure whether or not I believe this one, but apparently, some employees of instant messaging firm Odigo (and possibly other users of the software) received instant messages two hours before the September 11 attacks warning them that there would be an attack on the World Trade Center. The employees didn’t know the person sending them the message, but they recorded the sender’s IP address, and passed the info on to the FBI.
