Adedayo Oluyemisi Adesola (née Adejobi) (@ladydee2024) reported@Masterji_UPWale Most people "fled" from using Yahoo mail once "Yahoo Yahoo" became the moniker for Nigerian internet fraudsters and scammers. I never had a problem with Yahoo and will probably create a Yahoo account again too. Gmail is stressing me out too, constantly asking me to buy more storage.

Ray Ellis (@RunOnTheMind) reported@yahoomail this latest update is rubbish. The font is dreadful and difficult to read and the new design is not at all helpful. The old version was great and did the job well. This is rubbish. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Please stop tinkering and give us the old version back.

LMarie (@barefootfifer) reported@mary_aster She doesn’t have a recovery email? Or phone number? Go to the Yahoo Mail to the sign in helper. If she can’t remember her user name or password, it will send to the recovery email and she can get in from there. If her info has changed and she can’t remember, email or call yahoo

DW Nathan (@DNathan70056) reported@OldInternetFeel I still use Yahoo Mail, and it's become a slow, browser crashing slog to deal with. It's sluggish on my phone and even worse on the desktop. Problem is that I use my yahoo email for so many different things that it would be very difficult to switch all my email over.

Offensive Lab (@OffensiveLab) reportedNew research shows content inside an email can escape its message boundary and interfere with the webmail interface. Across attack chains spanning Outlook, Gmail, Fastmail, Proton Mail, Yahoo Mail, and AOL Mail, the techniques can capture passwords, take over third-party accounts, leak tokens, hijack trusted UI actions, and manipulate AI tools that read email. PortSwigger researcher Gareth Heyes presented the work at Black Hat USA 2026. One Outlook/Firefox chain spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen and captures the password a recipient types. A Yahoo/AOL paste race can expose a Medium email-login token and let an attacker sign in as the victim. A Gmail/Cowork chain can exfiltrate a Slack token after prompt injection and user interaction. The paper presents proof-of-concept research and does not report malicious exploitation. Public PoCs remain available as of August 8. The researcher said Fastmail fixed two CSS mutation bugs and a Proton Mail proxy bypass stopped working when he retested it, while Outlook label-jacking and Gmail's image-set() bypass still worked when the research was published on August 6. The paper does not state whether the full Outlook password-capture chain was fixed. For webmail providers, the paper recommends isolating HTML email in sandboxed iframes and tightly restricting CSS, custom attributes, select menus, and image requests.

Ray Ellis (@RunOnTheMind) reported@yahoomail @MrNJ39 Agreed. This version is rubbish. The font is dreadful and is counter intuitive. The previous version was fine. Nothing wrong with it. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. It wasn’t. Please give us the old, good version back.
