Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pidgin
Going into pidgin / Tools / Privacy, select ICQ. It will be set to "Block only the users below", which is wide open to spamming. Change this to "Allow only the users on my buddy list" and it will stay that way for the session, but revert back after restart or reboot. Hardy Heron 8.04.1, fully patched.
