  Most people "fled" from using Yahoo mail once "Yahoo Yahoo" became the moniker for Nigerian internet fraudsters and scammers. Occurred to me recently that I never had a problem with Yahoo and will probably create a Yahoo account again too. Gmail is stressing me out as well, constantly asking me to buy more storage.

  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!

  @_renatov @thesamparr Yahoo runs a huge digital media and advertising business. Core products: Yahoo Mail (still one of the biggest email services), Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Sports/Fantasy, News, and Search. They make most of their billions from targeted online ads. In 2026 they're doubling down on AI with "Yahoo Scout" to turn user data from mail/search/content into smarter ad targeting and answers. Still very much alive and profitable.

  Someone will use Yahoo Mail almost all his life and never receive a complaint of storage getting full. You will just open Gmail like this and start receive storage threats up and down. #AlrightEigbe

  I'm trying to add storage to my Yahoo mail account, but when I pretty the button, it says "This Option is not available in your area." I can't add storage and they'll shut me down tomorrow. WHAT CAN I DO.

  @SidraStartups 1) I had created a SidraChain account using yahoo mail. Now, everyone with Gmail login can get easy access to login again. But, the scenario with another email address is totally different.

  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.

  @EmmanuelAfula @EmmanuelAfula Please look into the Celia App OTP delivery bug! Those of us using Yahoo Mail are completely locked out because the system isn’t sending verification codes to Yahoo now. We need an alternative login option or a way to switch our emails to Gmail. @CeliaWallet 🚨

  DO NOT expect @YahooCare to help resolve ANY issue especially with your email!! These incompetent ******** will only re-route you to their ****** website where they’ll just repeat previous inefficient steps with ZERO resolution. What pieces of ****!! #YahooMail #YahooEmail

  The bigger issue, I think, is the durability of digital preservation. As indicated by the erasure of geocities, livejournal, usenet, yahoo mail, and other internet troves by the private company that was supposed to steward them, digital data is never really safe.

  Popular Services/Messengers That Are Typically NOT (Fully) End-to-End EncryptedThese are the ones affected by scanning under the current EU Chat Control setup which has passed today in the EU: Email services (most standard ones): - Gmail (Google) - Outlook/Hotmail (Microsoft) - Yahoo Mail - iCloud Mail (Apple, standard) - Many others without E2EE enabled - Facebook/Instagram Messenger (standard mode) — Often not fully E2EE unless "Secret Conversations" are turned on - Skype (standard chats) — Microsoft can access content. - Snapchat — Chats and snaps are not E2EE by default (some features have it, but not comprehensively) - Telegram (standard/cloud chats) — Encrypted between device and server, but Telegram holds the keys and can access content. Only "Secret Chats" are protected. - Discord — Messages are not E2EE; the company can moderate/scan - Older/traditional SMS/MMS — Completely unencrypted. - Xbox Live messaging and some gaming platforms. - Cloud storage/file sharing tied to chats (e.g., Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive in some contexts) — Often scanned Let that sink in ! allegedly to fight against child abuse

  Security Issue with Yahoo Mail ?? Was logging into Yahoo Mail, was being asked for verification from phone etc. The first OTP that came was from VIPINDIASHAADI - naturally I ignored. Requested again, this time from Yahoo - but the OTP is same, which means the first one was valid also. But this cannot happen without a mixup that definitely has a security implication. #yahoo #Cybersecurity
