  😠 @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!

  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!

  YAHOO If you have Yahoo mail and do not like that they forced the new interface on their users, COMPLAIN, on social media and look to change emails as a backup. If your a lawyer look into what users can do to complain. The new interface was forced on users to act a beta testers, and it is slow. They took away the ability to go back to the old interface. Maybe get the news media involved.

  @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.

  Right on man I will. To my shame I haven’t read books in like ten years since I became a digital research junkie and really need to. I love writing and had started a book ten years ago I had the first chapter and titles for every chapter with the concept totally outlined. Lost access to my yahoo mail due to changing numbers and using a fake name and it was lost. Within the next decade I will return to a new one I have tons of ideas I write down. But need to just read for a few years first for inspiration. Look forward to this one, very precisely in my exact interests

  @YahooCare I've just gotten out of the DM chat and am very disappointed in the service I received. The chat rep tried blaming the Yahoo Mail desktop error on an inactive 2FA mobile number yet told me that my 'only' option was the mobile app. The rep is refeencing the same device
