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.

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.

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 01:13:58 +0200 http://www.irchighway.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=867 We've just setup Mibbit support for the network, Mibbit users will appear with their real hostnames. Those using Mibbit widgets for their channel need to change them to connect to webchat.irchighway.net in order to take advantage of this new functionality. Anyone having problems with this new system should post in our forum and let us know. We also have a beta version of an official webchat running at http://webchat.irchighway.net/. It's currently being tested, but it's open to the public for use. (just be warned, it may be a bit buggy...) Sun, 26 Apr 2009 21:36:08 +0200 http://www.irchighway.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=866 Dear users, We would like to inform you that the current netsplits as well as those which have been occuring in the past three days are due to ongoing DDoS attacks against our network. It is by now public knowledge that those attacks are, sadly, once again perpetrated by brazilian people which, in all due respect to our brazilian user base, should probably refered to as brazilian script kiddies. We are doing our best to limit the effects of those attacks. However, as you are probably very much aware, it is not a phenomenon easy to fight off. Any help, assistance or piece of information that you could provide us with, is welcome. Thank you for your patience and continuous support over the years. The IRCHighWay Staff.
