Apparently someone on our sim answered a communication made to someone else in IM. I suppose it COULD have been copied/pasted to them, but it's unlikely. The 3rd party themselves said they had a "hud" that allowed eavesdropping but normally didn't have the feature turned on. Logically, if the IM can pass between 2 people, it could be intercepted as well, and new platform features full of increasingly spagettish code mean potential new loopholes. So, and likely not the first time asked, is it possible to eavesdrop on IMs and how the heck do you block the ability if so? I don't care how to do it, I want to know if it can be blocked!
