  AOL Says It Is Fixing IM Security Loophole
Time: 06:12 EST/11:12 GMT | News Source: NewsBytes | Posted By: Will1

America Online said today that it is in the process of closing a security loophole that allowed hackers to steal AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) screen names and, in some cases, access AOL members' credit cards.

Nicholas Graham, spokesperson for AOL, said that the new security measure will address the issue not only for AIM version 4.3 clients, but others as well.

"We became aware of the problem earlier this week," said Graham. "Today, we were able to duplicate the process where individuals were able to make illegal entries in our system. This afternoon we are putting in a precautionary technique that will fix the problem."
