**MUST READ** AIM VULNERABILITY!!

AIM Virus Exploit


haven't seen this on any of the major security sites yet tho..

AOL Instant Messenger
w00w00 released a serious vulnerability in the latest stable (4.7) and beta versions (4.8) of AOL Instant Messenger. This is a serious vulnerability that leaves AIM's 100 million users vulnerable to remote penetration.

bump because noone reads past page one

Perhaps you failed to see bonkers post which is almost directly beneath your post....

 

[pulse8]

Damn...That didn't even require a search to find the original post.

I guess some people don't read the first page, either.

or perhaps bonkers failed to see my post which preceeded his by 12 hours?

Hmm.. lesse.. my thread was made at:
Wednesday, January 02, 2002 10:48 AM



Bonkers made his at:
Wednesday, January 02, 2002 6:46 PM

You're just jealous that people are actually replying to his post

nope.. just pissed people like you don't know how to read timestamps, then accuse people of reposting, when its not.

well... at least no one is responding to this one!

 

[pulse8]

Well, if you knew that his was there and people were already replying to his, why did you bother to bump your own? Why not just join the ongoing conversation?

 

[yakko]

I knew about it before either of you posted so I don't care either way.

This is what I call FPS - First Post Syndrome

People get all bitchy when THEY make the post and everyone passes it by. Then someone else makes almost the exact same thing and they get tons of attention.

Deal with it, grow up, just because Bonkers got people to notice it doesn't make your post any less relevant.

nope.. nothing to do with that... it's the "mod-wannabe" attitude of your post


<< Perhaps you failed to see bonkers post which is almost directly beneath your post.... >>

which pissed me off. Perhaps if you read a thread instead of jumping in to act all godlike, you wouldn't be trying to transfer a reason to something which doesn't exist.

See, you're still bitching. Let it go.

I am not a mod, but like pulse8 suggested, why not just join in bonkers converstaion instead of crapping in his thread?

i always knew you were smart

 

[Harvey]

I posted it first.

< Wah! > No, I posted it first. :Q

No, you didn't! :|

YES, I DID! :| :|

Excuse me, but BFD! This happens to be important info for everyone who uses AIM (a small number of AT members, I know). Thanks to anyone who cared enough to share it and help keep the rest of us safe.

Looks like AOL fixed the problem.
