Hack Takes Aim at AOL Clients
Wired News Report
A security breach on AOL Instant Messenger put the privacy
of AIM users at risk on Monday, according to a published
report.
The breach, first reported in Salon, allows subscribers to link
new AOL accounts to AIM names that already exist. Holes in
the sign-up process allow people to get around the
password protection of the AIM accounts.
