Yahoo "Seal"

Posted by smarttart62 on Sept. 12, 2006, 6:47 a.m.

[l]A[/l][sc]bout a month back i reported to Yahoo! that there was a problem with their site that allowed me[/sc] to easily Phish it, or make a fake login page to steal user data.

Recently i see they now have added Personal "Seals" which disaplay only for the computer that you register it on. If you set one of these up, every time you login you see your personal "seal" shown, and if it's not… Then well… Your supposedly on a phishing site.

Although the done variable is still left open for attack, the seals are a STEP toward an added layer of protection for Yahoo! and it's clients.

You ever hack for fun? Like, youre bored one day so you put a funny little message on a site or something you couldnt normally do, as a prank?

Theyre's 3 types of hackers: Ethical hackers, Fun hackers, and Malicious hackers. I like the fun hackers the best :P

I like fun hackers, they're… funny.

But only when they don't do it to my website…

XD.

Yahoo had to think of a way to fix their site. So, they steal an idea from someone else! That's just like a big corporation…

I hate yahoo. If you get the DSL, it doesn't always work on Firefox. Most of the time it does though. I hate their mail too. I use gmail. Other than that, they have good music…
