    Hello Everyone..

I just got an unconfirmed message about an exploit using an remote API
in ICQ. This API supposidly gives the attacker the possibility to make
your ICQ execute programs. i.e format your drive,  change your nick,
delete all your files etc. These "hackers" supposidly made a program
that "acts" like an ICQ-server send commands to the unaware client..

Anyone else heard about this..


Regards,

Arnvid Karstad
