America Online allows each member to have 5 screen names with separate pass words.These can be changed at any time.This allows people to constantly post(flame) to different groups with total anonymity.When you sign onto AOL you are given a screen name or they allow you to create your own,it will not resemble your real name.I have no idea the reasoning behind this. American Online can be hacked at will,there are security holes in the software you could drive a truck through.It has been hacked and will contine to be hacked,but AOL wiil not admit it,they don't want their system to be seen as unsecure.My account was hacked and my personal e-mail was removed,and AOL refused to do anything about it. There are several ways to hack AOL.Many people take the AOL sign up disks put them in the computer and just enter false information during the sign up process.Once they're online they can raise hell.When they sign off they just delete the AOL soft- ware.Another method is to use one of the hacker phreak software programs written just for AOL.The most popular is AOHELL,this lets you raise some serious hell,like point and click to send someone 500 message mail bombs.This program also allows you to write e-mail and make it appear that it came from someone else. This is only one of the hacker programs for AOL,there are many more,and they can all be downloaded from the web for free,with risk -I know one guy who downloaded AOHELL and went to install it-when he came back it was formatting his hard disk. There are many hacker,cyberpunk,anarchrist groups that use AOL as a base for attacking other systems.Its an easy way to cover their tracks.And these people don't like Marxists. There are lots of hacker web pages with ready to down load programs that are nasty.Another thing to watch out for is attached files,you notice on the M-list that at times people have attached files with their messages,well if you don't know these people-delete the attached files.There are many small virus programs that can be concealed within these that are self replicating. If you're interested I can send you the URLs of some of the hacker web pages,or you can check the alt.aol sucks news group.
