Friday, May 09, 2003ICQ opens the door to takover
Half a dozen vulerabilities have been identified in AOL's ICQ Pro instant messaging client, according to Core Security Technologies a Boston based company. The flaws affect all versions of the Mirabilis ICQ Pro 2003a release, it is not thought that the free Lite version ihas the same problems. The most serious issue seems to be with the POP3 mail client component. In the absence of a patch for the product it would be advisable to disable the mail client features. Here at ecommnet we recomend that ICQ is one protocol that's not used in a commercial environment at all!
