"OMG, just heard the news about ICQ getting hacked. Apparently they're working on patching up the security breach, but in the meantime, my account's been compromised and my crypto wallet's been drained. Has anyone else had their ICQ account breached and crypto stolen?"

"OMG, I feel your pain. Had my ICQ account get compromised back in 2015, and they just asked me to reset my password, which I did, but it was too little too late, my friends were already getting weird messages from me. Lesson learned, update that account ASAP!"

"Dude, I feel you. I had my ICQ account compromised a while back, and the hackers used it to spam my contacts. Luckily, I changed my password ASAP and didn't lose any sensitive info."

"Haha, ICQ? That's old news. I had an account back in the day, but lost interest after they dropped support for the desktop client"

"Dude, I'm all good, but I did have a friend whose ICQ account got hacked a few years back. They managed to change his password from the web interface and started sending shady messages to all his contacts, got him suspended from the platform for a while. Luckily, he was able to recover his account via the recovery process."

"Ouch, just got back from a week-long crypto trip and saw this thread. Had my ICQ account back in '04, no idea if they still have my old login info stored. Anyone else got hit by this breach?"

"Just experienced this same issue on my old ICQ account, got flooded with spam after the breach. Luckily, I changed my password and set up two-factor auth right away, but still got a bunch of weird messages. Anyone else get their email linked to the ICQ account compromised?"

"Yikes, just checked my old ICQ account and it was compromised a few weeks ago. Luckily I changed passwords ASAP but still, that's sketchy. Anyone know if Meta (or whatever owns ICQ now) is on it?"
