Mibbit allowed again
Posted on Friday, July 03, 2009 - 04:13 AM by Xaquseg
in Announcement
We've talked with Mibbit staff, and verified that they store information securely, so Mibbit can now connect again. Mibbit's privacy policy is located here, if you wish to review it yourself: http://www.mibbit.com/privacy.html
The previously mentioned concerns about data collection seem to be untrue; after further investigation, we couldn't find any basis for previous claims of them logging personal info.

[New Information - Updated post!]
Due to a misunderstanding, the newspost made earlier may have contained some false information, the newspost has been updated to reflect this.
Mibbit is now banned due to suspected privacy issues with logging information passing through the service, including passwords.
If you need a webclient, we ask that you use our client, which logs no personal information; the only logged info is the time of the request, the ip of the user, a session id, and the id of the message in the request.
We are retracting some of the previous statements until more proof is found.
