Re: [Full-Disclosure] yahoo mail image verification



After testing the French Yahoo portal, it appears that this flaw actually exists. Let's hope they'll fix it soon. However, the impact of a bruteforce attempt is minimal if you have a strong password by default ...

I've submitted this bug to Yahoo for review.

Did you realized that the image verification in yahoo mail which
appears after some insuccesfull attempts is not working properly,
becus i can just leave it blank and continue trying, dont tell me that
it wont work if I enter a true passwrd without the verification code .
It works i  have tried with 6 accounts and managed to enter the inbox
after about 40 tries.
Sorry for my bad english :(
Hope you understand what I mean...
