"Some handsets suffer Y2K16 SMS bug by Andrew Munchbach on January 3rd, 2010 at 10:01am Filed under: Microsoft, News, Windows Mobile 46 Comments Ah, yes, Y2K…remember the good old days? ATM’s weren’t going to recognize your bank card, servers were going to spontaneously combust, and elevators would have no idea where the second floor was. For those of you who look back with nostalgia at the Y2K hysteria, there is a new, albeit much smaller, Y2 “something” glitch to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside again. WMExperts is reporting that some mobile users are seeing text messages sent after 1/1/2010 dated as 1/1/2016. The most widely affected group seems to be those on Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 although some non-Windows Mobile users are also reporting this behavior. WMExperts has a home grown .cab file posted with a fix, however we haven’t seen anything official from Microsoft or other major manufacturers. How about it? Any of you out there getting text messages from the future?"

Thats not a glitch, those texts are obviously sent back from the future. Microsoft must have discovered time travel 6 years from now and are testing it out by sending text messages into the past. Awesome!

I mean as fucked up as that sounds, it could be plausible.

i've not come across this issue anywhere...

is this a hex (10=16) issue?

I didn't even notice that the texts I'd gotten the last few days were dated 2016. Nice.

a bunch of linux mail servers using spamassassin were fooked because there was a spamassassin rule that penalized all messages from year 2010 and beyond.
