Unknown to frighten contact ICQ users

19 and 20 June for most users of Internet messenger ICQ and compatible with the programmes (including QIP and Adium and mobile clients) in the group-General contact sheet appeared contact ICQ System under the number 12111.

While not known from where and for what purpose appeared 12111. Internetchiki in discussions in forums and blogs suggest that this is the result of attempts en masse to change passwords or steal from others' rooms ICQ. They recommend to remove the contact, and change the password.

Another suggestion users is that the number can be used for mass mailing advertising.

Official explanations for what is happening there is no. Discussions at the forum ICQ show that 12111, most likely came only from Russian users ICQ.
