  @YahooCare Answer me, dammit! I sent you print screens in a DM about a serious technical problem with 3 of my Yahoo Mail addresses, but you ignore my Private Messages! Yahoo upgrade caused this problem!

  New 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.

  FOR YEARS I'VE RELIED ON @yahoomail FOR ALL MY EMAIL NEEDS, BUT ITS RELIABILITY HAS FALLEN IN THE PROVERBIAL SHITTER! I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW MANY PASSWORDS, PASSCODES AND TEXT VERIFICATIONS FOLLOWED BY CONFIRMATIONS ON BACKUP EMAIL ACCOUNTS ARE REQUIRED NOW BUT I GET ALL THE CODES, AND IT ALWAYS TAKES A ****, I THINK, IT'S AT THE 75TH PASSWORD LEVEL. HELL I CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THEM NOW. NOW I HAVE TO BLOW A DAY TRYING TO FIND SOMEBODY THAT SPEAKS ENGLISH SO I CAN FIGURE OUT WTF IS GOING ON. THE IPHONE APP NO LONGER WORKS, AND I CANNOT LOGIN VIA THE DESKTOP NOW. THIS ABSOLUTELY SUCKS!

  😠 @yahoomail Yahoo mail recently changed the mail format and it has a serious technical problem. My new emails go into my Unread folder but NOT in my Inbox. Then when I read them, they disappear entirely from my mail, so I cannot Save them, because they are GONE! I cannot move them to my Inbox. I've tried repeatedly to contact @YahooCare but they ignore my messages! I sent print screens in a Private Message, but @YahooCare will NOT respond! THIS IS A FAILED NEW UPGRADE! Someone answer me!

  @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

  Yahoo Mail updated its entire interface, right down to the font, and it's startlingly, uncharacteristically, almost criminally smooth now.

  Hey @yahoomail, you won't let me swipe away an ad, but instead every time you want me to sign up (pay) for your mail plus. Well it's your server, so screw you, it can sit there forever as far as I'm concerned. I was just trying to save you the space. All the best...

  Things About Growing Up in Nigeria in the 2000s Only Some People Will Understand. 1) Saturday mornings were never yours. Before cartoons. Before football. Before visiting your friends. There was work to do. You swept the compound, washed the bathroom, cleaned the sitting room, washed your school uniforms, and sometimes even fetched water before anyone mentioned television. At the time, it felt unfair. Looking back, those Saturday mornings quietly taught many of us responsibility before we even knew the word. 2) The way your mum called your name told you whether to relax or start praying. If she called your first name softly, you were probably safe. But the moment your middle name and surname entered the conversation, your heart rate increased immediately. Before she even explained what happened, you had already started remembering everything you'd done wrong that week. Nigerian mothers didn't need to raise their voices. Your full name was a warning enough. 3) Missing your favourite cartoon meant waiting until next week. There was no Netflix. No YouTube. No Watch Later.lf Ben 10, Power Rangers, or Tom and Jerry came on while you were sleeping or doing chores, that's on you. Missing an episode meant spending the next week hoping your friends didn't spoil it for you. 4) Adjusting the TV antenna made you the family's broadcast engineer. One person stood outside turning the antenna while someone inside shouted instructions. "Is it clear?" "No!" "Turn it small!" "No, you've passed it!" It took teamwork, patience, and somehow it always worked eventually. 5) The internet wasn't something you had. It was somewhere you went. Going online meant going to a cyber cafe. You paid for your time, prayed the internet wasn't slow that day, and tried to finish everything before the attendant reminded you that your minutes were almost over. Opening Yahoo Mail or chatting on Yahoo Messenger felt like entering another world. 6) "Flash me" was a legitimate way to communicate. Airtime was too precious to waste. So instead of calling, you'd ring someone's phone once and cut the call immediately. They already knew what it meant: "Call me back." Nobody questioned it because everybody was doing the same thing. It wasn't stinginess. It was financial wisdom. 7) Your neighbour had permission to discipline you. There was a time when Nigerian parents believed raising a child was a community project. If your neighbour caught you climbing someone's fence or fighting outside, they didn't wait for your parents to come home. They corrected you immediately. Then they reported you anyway. You received discipline twice for the same offence. 8) Party packs determined whether a party was successful. Forget themed decorations or expensive backdrops.None of that mattered to us. The real excitement came at the end of the party when it was time to collect the party pack. We'd open it before getting home just to compare whose own was better. If yours had a bottle of Coke, biscuits, sweets, and a meat pie, you knew you had attended a big party. 9) One CD could contain twenty different movies. The cover might say Spider-Man. The movie would start with Jackie Chan. Halfway through, it suddenly became a Yoruba film. Nobody complained. You simply accepted whatever the DVD decided to give you. 10) After a certain time, the television belonged to your parents. You could forget about cartoons. Once evening came, it was time for the News, African Magic, or your parents' favourite soap opera. There was no democracy when it came to the remote. The owner of the house owned the television schedule. 11) "I'm coming" never actually meant "I'm coming." If your mum ever told you, "I'm coming," you already knew not to take it literally. She could still be bargaining over tomatoes, stop to greet three different people she hadn't seen in months, buy something she never planned to buy, and somehow still insist she was "coming."

  PortSwigger reveals new CSS attack chains breaking webmail defenses to steal passwords and tokens. The techniques compromise major platforms including Microsoft Outlook, Gmail, Fastmail, Proton Mail, Yahoo Mail, and AOL Mail. One Outlook and Firefox attack chain spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen to capture typed passwords in real-time. A Yahoo and AOL vulnerability allows attackers to reconstruct a 12-character Medium login token to hijack accounts. The research remains strictly proof-of-concept with no active malicious exploitation reported as of August 8. Security teams can't keep relying on sanitizers to block CSS when browsers and AI assistants inherently trust the interface context.
