There has been a considerable amount of discussion on the web recently about aim (aol instant messenger) password hacking. The reality is that only two parties will know a user's password, aol and the member, provided they didn't share their password with someone knowingly. With that in mind, there are only two realistic methods for hacking someone's password. One method is by spying, either
. physically or by planting a keylogger program locally or remotely on the user's computer. The other method is known as phishing, which is typically accomplished by sending the user an email with a fake login screen. Once the user enters their password into the fake login screen, the password has been captured, and the account is compromised. It is important to consider that whatever your motives are for hacking into someone's account, it is a serious violation of law.
