Yahoo is working to patch an issue that could <a href="http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&id=40777">allow a hacker to remotely take control</a> of a system through its Messenger client. It sounds more serious than it probably is though; as with most exploits, it can't work without "user action" (i.e. "doing something dumb").

    I use the protocol but not the client. (Thanks, Pidgin!)
