Instant messaging confidentiality

Our senior tech sent this to me:

http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/08/...ing/page4.html

As I read that, am I crazy for being concerned that every 'confidential' IM conversation is now the property of AOL, Microsoft, etc.?

There are tons of companies whose staff use IM as a major part of the way that sensitive client info is sent on the net.

A pandora's box of issues there.

Industry standard ICQ is owned by an Israeli company and it is pretty much assumed that all ICQ conversations are monitored by foreign intelligence.

Meant Mirabilis. Either way, it's good to be safe and use ICQ encryption.
