Hi.
A few weeks ago, it was posted that ICQ99 stores the password
used to access the ICQ network in plain-text in the .DAT files.
We have written a program that demonstrates this by parsing
these .DAT files for password and showing it to the user.
It can be downloaded at http://www.encrsoft.com/products.html#icqpass
Note: The option to save password can be turned off in ICQ's
Security & Privacy settings.
Yours truly,
