Webhosting across the internet is not secure as you think

 

Once again, it would seem that the Yahoo! Technical Support Team really doesn't care about security for its customers. I used to work for Yahoo! Small Business doing Technical Support for years then I decided to quit realizing it was just a dead-end job. I called Yahoo! Tech Support on 12-10-2020 spoke with an agent and told him that I had found a Security Flaw that shows their customer's information like User Name and Password on the internet for anyone to see. Of course, I would like to get paid for such a find and after all, I don't think it would hurt Yahoo! to much to pay me for my find. Yet after looking online it seems that the only pay they pay is through some other website and their top pay is only 10,000 USD. Seems to me Yahoo! doesn't really care about security or information that can be accessed by people on the web just by doing a few clicks. Guess I might have to get with the Media to see if they could run my story. Till then, I will just wait for my next check next month. Yeah!

Keep in mind this security flaw also works with other hosting providers across the internet. It just goes to show you that nothing is really safe from being private and secure.
