You shouldn't assume any IM protocol is *ever* secure at any point. Second, no one cares about intercepting and reading the average IM since 99% of it is just stupid bull anyways. Third, if you really need to transmit something securely, you shouldn't be doing it over IM.

gtalk uses ssl so it is reasonably secure.
