Hello Anna Christina!

 ACN> That's right.

Before 5.0.49, whenever you would crash/direct a message  
(bypassing your boss) the outgoing pkt would include the session  
pwd you had established with the boss!

Like this:  https://susepaste.org/69048853

That means, each and every fido node you crashed a message to,  
had the opportunity to see it.

The latest version, fixes that: https://susepaste.org/14013065
