Hackers release secure chat program

Hacker group Hacktivismo has released a secure instant messenger client known as “ScatterChat”, which encrypts all conversations and on top of that tunnels all transfers over the onion router service “Tor“.

Hacktivism says:

“ScatterChat is a HACKTIVIST WEAPON designed to allow non-technical human rights activists and political dissidents to communicate securely and anonymously while operating in hostile territory. It is also useful in corporate settings, or in other situations where privacy is desired.”

ScatterChat is built around the open source instant messenger program Gaim and can be downloaded here.
