Re: yahoo chat and text locking up my email said by La Luna:I don't see how this is a security issue? Well, when this feature was rolled out by yahoo, without any warning, I was greeted by a "Hey wanna chat?" popup from "pretty boy" or some such name. »Yahoo chat & mobile text
The feature wasn't only added, it was ENABLED by default.
However, as other yahoo users did NOT have this chat box, that really started to look ominous (Upon further investigation it was discovered that this was being rolled out slowly so not all users saw this for some time, and the version of the yahoo mail interface being used also was a factor.)
I simply couldn't know if my yahoo email account had been breached, if the yahoo page had been hacked or if some other malware on my system was causing chat popups to appear in yahoo. So I'd call that a security issue. |
