Spyware Information: AOL Password Stealing Trojan 111
This is a hacking tool designed to exploit AOL. Such tools can steal your passwords; attack other AOL users' computers; send huge numbers of instant messages to your friends; and commit other acts that can hurt you, your friends, or even strangers on AOL.
One can assume that these tools exist because AOL is less secure than other ISPs, or because their software is not well-designed. This is not true. AOL hacking tools exist for historical reasons -- AOL was the first ISP to gain a significant number of users, and thus became a target for hackers.
