I have long considered Yahoo.com a security hole. From the first day I used YahooIM & Yahoo email years ago I experienced memory leaks, DoS vulnerabilities, overall poor programming, adware, bloated software bundles, spam... But at least they're consistent. Not to mention that it seems every email address ever used to set up fake identities ends with @Yahoo.com and provides anonymity to the user provided they sufficiently obscure their connection information when connected to the site.

Anyway, that's my two-cents. Point of diatribe? As Anonymous before me said: "Use at your own risk."
