Abbreviated IM, a type of communications service that enables you to create a kind of private chat room with another individual in order to communicate in real time over the Internet

Typically, the instant messaging system alerts you whenever somebody on your private list is online. You can then initiate a chat session with that person.

Most IM systems currently do not support such security staples as authentication and encryption.

Some IM’s actually send chats in plaintext, so anyone on the same Wi-Fi network can easily pull your entire conversation - including pictures and videos - straight out of the air.
