Consumer instant messaging (CIM) services (aka public IM) such as AOL Messenger, Yahoo? Messenger, and MSN Messenger have achieved critical mass appeal and usage as a convenient and informal method of communication supporting real-time messaging and presence awareness.1,2 Unfortunately, these services are highly vulnerable from a security standpoint.
