Obi Kwan Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 I just heard this on a local CBS radio station, so i think it is pretty legit. I know we all get these things in our email from time to time, but when a trusted radio station warns, i listen! Just heard on WBZ that some one has hacked into AIM and can access files through your computer. Apparently, AOL confirmed it earlier this evening Until AOL comes out with a patch (probably tomorrow) go to File>Edit Options>Edit Prefrences. Click on privacy then under "who can contact me" check "only users on my buddy list" EDIT: Here is a snippet from an online article located here. A security hole in AOL Time Warner's Instant Messenger program used by millions of people worldwide can let a hacker take full control of a victim's computer, according to security researchers and the company.
