Mine began with a 2. Just saying.

That matters not at all, unless you reveal how many digits it is. Why isn’t anyone in this thread willing to reveal theirs? Just brag about it?

Mine also began with a 2. It was 279866. My girlfriend’s was slightly lower, as she introduced me to the new service. We both felt like pioneers in those halcyon days.

Mine was quickly usurped by a Russian hacker. The profile was replaced by Cyrillic writing. I never knew how they did it. None of my other accounts or socials have ever been usurped like that!

		I remember a lot of low number ICQ accounts being taken over back in the day, including my own and several security-minded friends. Because of how prevalent it was and how it was the only account we'd had compromised we assumed they found a flaw or had access to reset passwords, or could social engineer support etc. It's good to finally know there was a critical flaw like the one in OP that was likely used.

		Mine was in the 3.5 million range. My roommate at the time had a 6 digit number and didn't sign up that much before me, I remember it felt wild that they had grown so quickly. And then not long after that it was all 8 digit numbers. And also yes, the last time I looked, my account was all cyrillic.

		In my case because I use it as a random seed or parts of it as PIN, cause I will never forget it and it's "secret" enough.

		More importantly: Are you and your girlfriend still in contact with each other today?

		Mine was 8966646, which is cool because it has 666 in it.
