Comment (by cypherpunks):

 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICQ ICQ]:
 > According to security analyst Jeffrey Carr, use of ICQ may cause
 security problems because it was purchased by Russian investment company
 Digital Sky Technologies. ICQ has fallen out of fashion in the US and the
 UK, but it remains popular in Eastern Europe and Russia. Carr says the new
 ownership may be used by Russia's powerful secret service, the FSB
 (formerly the KGB) since Russian law requires ICQ to open its logs
 whenever they want
