I don't know about you guys, but I talk about weed all the time over AIM with my friends. I had never realized until somebody mentioned to me recently that AIM has no security what-so-ever. Conversations are sent in plain text through packets. Basically anybody on your network (including your ISP) could easily read your convos word for word at any time.

How likely is it that people are checking your packets? Extremely unlikely. But it is better to be safe than sorry. It is very easy to install encryption certificates and be 100% certain that nobody will ever read your convos except you and the person you're talking to. Plus it's free.

No I don't work for them or anything, I just found the website myself and decided people on here might be interested.

Well im not a dealer or anything so im sure im low on their priority. Like i heard somewhere they can listen to cellphones with out a warrent or anything, but im really not afraid because i dont deal, and Cops dont really care about marijuana that much, there is stuff that is of higher priority.

I wasn't sure if it was a violation to say but I posted this mainly for people who deal that may use AIM to talk to their customers.

The day that I get arrested for something pot related because cops tracked me down through an AIM conversation is the same day I will removed and flee the country.
