Re: [Full-Disclosure] Yahoo upgraded all accounts to 100MB



Did anyone else notice that they also raised the storage limit to 2Gb
for paid account holders?  (SBC Yahoo DSL and accounts like that,
19.99/mo)

That's quite a lot of spam storage.

Wanna talk about security?  How about all those phishing and spam
emails being stored (and potentially opened) for far longer than was
possible before.  Seems like a security problem waiting to happen.

So far, in my Gmail account, I've had exactly 0 spam emails, and I
have that address pasted all over the web.  Either their spam
filtering is incredible, or the spammers haven't picked it up yet.  My
Yahoo account, on the other hand, is 100% spam except for mailing list
traffic.
