Weird as it may sound, serverless IM is *a lot* more subject to
security attacks than server-based IM, unless you check identity
thoroughly (something that is easier to check in the server-based
case). Bottom line: you need end-to-end encryption to be perfectly
safe, and if you have that, you might as well use server-based IM.
