Hey List.

I figure this list could be best for this question, since I'd think the
pen testers
would be more up to date on spreading vulns.

With all the IM flaws out there, does it more than not, stem from the
protocol?
or the actual client?

My main point being, is using GAIM (or any other all in one for that
matter) for msn, yahoo, aim chats more secure than the "name brand" clients?

Thanks!
