I logged in at work this morning to notice my buddies are gone and Groups are “Nice buddy list” “Thanks for Playing” “I’ll IM you…”

Once he talked to me, said “I didn’t have to pay” like i would anyways, but he let me keep the name (oh jeez how nice)….
Tried entering the names and i got about 1/3 back then AIM started the error “One or more of the additions or modifications to your Buddy List were not able to be saved.” But this is only on this one AIM account, others work fine.

Is there a way he screwed w/ the server side too so i can’t add them back?
Anyone to contact or help for a solution?

There are alot of hackers out there with amazing programs that can make the AIM account/server do anything, you eitehr have to get a new aim screen name, or change the Email, password, run a virus/spysweeper

Also, you should backup your buddylist on occasion incase of any mishaps, like this. I backup mine once a week, or whenever I add someone new.
