 Hi, I'm Cibort

 I send this ticket to report a breach of security of passwords pidgin, are
 not encrypted (all in plaine text) at all in the light of local and remote
 intruders to our computer.

 In the following file

 /home/USERNAME/.purple/accounts.xml

 TABLES:

 <account>
 <protocol> prpl-msn </ protocol>
 <name> usernick at dominio.com </ name>
 <password> Password </ password>
 <alias> Nickname </ alias>

 And this is true for any protocol officially supported


 In my blog I have more details (Spanish only), I hope to settle it as
 Pidgin chat client is a very powerful;)

 I hope to help them with a grain of sand :)

 Cibort
