One of the important functions added in this new version is the reporting function and control of those who send spam, which is known as SPIM (spam on IM). SPIM is not only annoying for users, but it is also very dangerous. Assuming hackers know an IM account, they can take advantage of that to send spam messages that contain links to some contacts in that account without the recipient's suspicion. When these people click on links, malware or spyware (spyware) can automatically install through poor security browsers or security holes.
