Edit: Revised this post to be a little more friendly. Sometimes I get steamed and use some pretty foul language. :-)

I find it disturbing that this guy got neg-ed to death for this post. This guy simply stated he was aware of a Yahoo vulnerability and was willing to share info if interested. He did not say something stupid like "I can teach you how to hack into Yahoo e-mail!". Some of you claim to have neg-ed him because you think he is lying. Well, since he got neg-ed to the point of being banning, I guess we'll never know.

I always consider security bugs in Yahoo (and other similar services) pretty serious. Considering that the service is so widely used, I think that anyone interested in computer security should find this issue interesting if nothing else. But instead of thinking that maybe there are people out there that consider this important, you neg the guy until he is banned. And let's face it. The only reason why is because he mentioned Yahoo instead of something else you people are interested in.

I guarantee that if the word "Yahoo" was replaced with "Slackware", he would have NEVER got neg-ed. Probably would have been given positive points for bringing it to the attention of everyone. Half the people here would want to know about it so they can patch their systems. But since it was Yahoo, he got neg-ed to death. That's pretty pathetic. Just because you don't use Yahoo, many others still do. There are people that use simple applications instead of dedicating their life to learning complex ones. There is nothing wrong with that. In fact if it wasn't for those people, many of you wouldn't have anything to brag about or to act all high and mighty about. Yet, you neg the guy until he is banned. For making a post that is in fact on topic. Yea, that's right, a security issue in Yahoo is still a computer security topic.

Maybe it should be specified up top of this site: "Computer Security WE FEEL is important". God forbid someone posts a security issue about an application you don't use.
