 Hey people. Weather you guys know it or not, ICQ numbers ARE being hacked.
 Those who are using Pidgin are in danger of losing there early ICQ number
 like I did. I F-ing sucks! There NEEDS to be an update or some kind of
 document to help those who are unaware of this take the extra precations.
 Below is just one link that shows it has happened to more than just me.

 I like Pidgin but now i have stopped using it because of this security
 flaw. Guys! I lost my F-ing account that i had for 12 years and I CANNOT
 F-ING get it back because nobody made it clear!!!

 I am going to spread the word against using Pidgin because of this. It
 seems that nobody even cares what happened and my tickets just get
 'closed' ... ya guys .. close it and the issue disappears.

 Good Fix!
