	I just received the following email. It seems like a fairly major  
hole, if true. http://trac.adiumx.com/ticket/2952 was filed about it.

The original description on the ticket:

Was in a group chat with 2 friends who are authorised contacts. One  
of which executed a mass invite (somehow) at which point a good  
majority of my contacts were forced into the same multiuser chat.  
 From chatting with 2 people, it ended up a chat environment with 35  
odd clients.

I WAS LIKE OMFG!...... Apparantely the code was executed using a  
trillian plugin???????
