Yahoo Messenger under threats

pioneer · September 20, 2007, 06:44:18 PM

Zero-day exploit codes targeting Yahoo and AOL instant-messenger services could put frequent IM users at risk to new attacks.

A non-vendor disclosed vulnerability within Yahoo Messenger has been exploited by two different code releases Wednesday. This is the third security glitch for Yahoo Messenger in as many months. There is no workaround or patch available yet for these exploits.

I received this message from my friend, is this true? anyone please help me to verify this..

Hey its Dave, from the director of yahoo, everybody sorry for the interruption, but yahoo is closing the system down because too many booters are taking up all the names, we only have 57 names left, if u would like to keep your account,send the message to everyone on your list. This is no joke, you'll be sorry if you don't send it. Thanks, director of yahoo, Tim Buiski. Whoever doesn't send this message your account will be deactivated and it will cost you $10.00 a month to use it. To send to everyone on your list right click on your group--------nareceive ko lang ko yan..

Same with Friendster's Allen, manager of Friendster, Bill Gates from Microsoft, and all the shenanigans in the Internet.

It's a SPAM. Don't reply.

yeah, the micro$oft thing... kadtong mo-share daw si bill gate$ sa iyang kayamanan if mo-send ka up to certain numbers. heheh

maka-monitor kaha si gate$ sa tanan emails? heheh

a tip to help minimize spam mails:
- dont post your email address to websites, or send forwarded email messages to bunch of people in your contacts. just in case gusto jud ka mo-forward, use "BCC" instead of "TO" para dili makita ang individual address sa mga tawo.
