Hijacking AIM accounts
AIM Security Advisory explains how hundreds of AIM users are losing their accounts to hijackers. Once the hijack has taken place the account password is changed and the user is unable to retrieve it via the password retrival system. AIMThief is the program for the Macintosh that enables this hack to be done exploiting some code in the AOL 2.7 protocal P3. Any user with a name under 10 charactors long is vulnerable.
