The World's Most Dangerous IM Client
Talk about a dubious distinction. Microsoft last year gained top honors as the
most-hacked
instant messaging client of 2007. According to some quick and dirty Internet
research (read: this information could be wildly inaccurate!), AOL has by far
the most IM market share, with Microsoft coming in second with roughly half
the number of users.
If MSN is the most hacked, there are only two reasonable theories. First, it's
easier to hack MSN than other clients, or second, it's just more fun to hack
a Microsoft product. I'd go with the latter!
