The impression I got was while the point of attack was over AIM, the
botnet itself was IRC based.
While AIM runs on a controlled system. I doubt AOL has the time, money,
or inclination to deal with it. Else they would have likely stopped a
lot of the other AIM worms that have been floating around for a year(?)
or so.
Plus, it's not like it's difficult to make gobs of new AIM accounts. (Do
they use some kind of CAPTCHA system? It's been ages since I signed up
for one.) Setting up new accounts to atttack others is non-trivial.
