Many different technologies might be supported, including IM, Internet Relay Chat also known as "IRC" , or Jabber.

What are the dangers?

Identities can be elusive or ambiguous.

Not only is it sometimes difficult to identify whether the "person" you are talking to is human, but human nature and behavior isn't predictable.

People may lie about their identity, accounts may be compromised, users may forget to log out, or an account may be shared by many people.

These factors make it difficult to know who you're really talking to during a conversation.

Users are especially susceptible to certain types of attack.

Trying to convince someone to run a program or click on a link is a common attack method, but it can be especially effective through IM and chat rooms.

In a setting where a user feels comfortable with the "person" he or she is talking to, a malicious piece of software or an attacker has a better chance of convincing someone to fall into the trap.
