Sayonara Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 ICQ and AOL have had their DNS servers hacked - ICQ.com is down and the timer on AOL is about to hit zero. Cerulean have released a patch for Trillian but I recommend disconnecting from all ICQ, AOL or AIM services for the timebeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafalone Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 My connection to AIM is fine. But if the DNS server does go down... login.oscar.aol.com = 64.12.161.185 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fafalone Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 I thought it was pretty funny when someone hacked the RIAA's home page and posted links to p2p programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
