Hello,

I have developed a module for ejabberd  (A widely used Jabber server) that do 
the man in the middle attack on OTR messages.

I made this module to show that it is not possible to make e2e encryption user 
friendly. (for those who want an easy-to-use enabled-by-default e2e 
encryption)
Lamda user (who doesn't really care about security) will not check 
fingerprint.

So now, check your fingerprints :-)
