AOL Passwords are transmitted as plain text.

There is floodcontrol in place, so I don't think brute force would be to effective.

I'd guess that someone just guessed it, or watched your friend type it in (or used it in a terminal where AIM was set to "save password"). Something along those lines.

Either way, I would call:
800-827-6364.

to get it resolved.
