| 41 | In this situation, BadGuest was given the password by the user, or else the | |
| 42 | user did something to allow BadGuest to easily guess it. That is the user's | |
| 43 | problem. | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | The other slim possibility is that the IRC network itself has someone | |
| 46 | sniffing passwords on it. That is a problem that needs to be solved, and no | |
| 47 | part of services can solve it for you. | |
| 48 | ||
| 49 | The vast majority of "password stealing" incidents are down to users sharing | |
| 50 | their passwords. | |
