Msn Chat: Msn Messenger
built 627 days ago
MSN chat rooms affected by the change will be shut down on Oct. 14. That's a day before the deadline for third-party IM services such as Trillian to strike a licensing agreement with Microsoft to prevent the possibility of their being blocked. Oct. 15 ... marks the deadline for people using older Messenger versions to upgrade to 5.0 or higher.

A successful attack requires that the local user have installed the MSN Chat control, MSN Messenger, or Microsoft Exchange Instant Messenger. By default, no version of Microsoft Windows is vulnerable to this attack.
MSN has a lot of people hooked on to their messenger, but the traffic to their chat rooms is not that much as users prefer Yahoo or Indiatimes. It will only affect those who are hooked on to chatting with their friends and relatives.
