Summary

The IM Observatory, established in 2013 by Thijs Alkemade, was a project focused on evaluating the security of XMPP services. Due to advancements in internet security practices—including increased awareness of vulnerabilities in OpenSSL, operating systems, and applications—and more secure default settings, the Observatory’s initial purpose has become less relevant in today's landscape.
