Here's an email I got, nothing to be alarmed about, but thought it was 'funny' that googlebot caused it.


Greetings, IronBits:

You (or "crawl-66-249-68-177.googlebot.com" [66.249.68.177]) recently requested the password for your distributed.net team account. You should keep this information confidential. If you did not just request your password, it just means that some confused person has clicked on the "mail the password to the team coordinator" link on your team stats page.
This is no reason to be alarmed, they cannot get to your password this way.

what?

I think that is what they teach kids in the US to yell of a stranger tries to do something with them.
