A slightly more tawdry, but almost equally creepy, version of something we've discussed before here [1] - messages (seemingly) from beyond the grave.
I logged into my various IM accounts after several days, and was greeted by an offline message advertising some dubious site, purportedly from a friend. A perfectly ordinary occurrence - lots of people have their accounts cracked and used to send spam messages. Only, this particular friend died last month. It got me wondering, what are the policies at various sites, such as yahoo and google, for account-holders who die? What happens to their data?
