aim?


Question Posted Sunday April 15 2007, 7:29 pm

Is it really true that people can read your AIM conversations? Because one of my friends told me she was reading mine once but she didn't know how, and then my other friend who doesn't even know my friend (so they couldn't be like pranking me or anything) said that it was possible but she didn't know how. What scares me the most was that I was talking about how my crush had to get off, and he didn't and I said to my friend, "he isn't getting off...omg" He does this sometimes but doesn't say anything..well when I said that to my friend, a few seconds later he IMed me saying he didn't lie and that he'd be getting off... so is this really true that people can read your convos? Is there ANY way to prevent it?!

it's true that some highly skilled hackers and internet predators can read anything you write on aim. BUT- regular people, such as your friends, can't do this. it's just not possible.


so you can go to www.aimencrypt.com and download that feature to prevent the bad people from reading your convos.


but if you don't want to do that- just be CERTAIN that you don't send any personal information over aim or email or anything, such as a last name, phone number, or address.

but i would really recommend downloading the aim encryption. (it explains it all on the site)

hope i helped :D

This is myth. If that were really possible- everyone would know everything about everyone of their friends. AIM doesn't have such a feature.

Hope I helped!
