We've discovered that under normal circumstances, telepathy-mission-control 5.x leaves accounts.cfg (which includes passwords etc.) world-readable. This will be fixed in point release 5.2.2, later today.
As a workaround, MC 5.x users should make their Mission Control account
storage directory unreadable by others:
mkdir -p ~/.mission-control/accounts
chmod 0700 ~/.mission-control
chmod 0700 ~/.mission-control/accounts
Due to details of the MC implementation, using chmod on accounts.cfg is not
a sufficient workaround (it will get bad permissions again as soon as MC needs
to alter accounts.cfg). chmod the directories instead.

Simon
