Quoting n3td3v,
Because we all know Yahoo! has no account security, so kids aged 15 can hack an account. Yahoo! is like hacking for beginners. Its easy to do, and therefore a great network to learn skills.. bravo Yahoo!, you have a use after all.
Hm, hm. Yahoo's rudimentary security 'features' such as account lockout policy (12 hours after several failed login attempts) is most often used as a DoS against that account owner. Plus numerous "booters" exploiting holes (read: buffer overflows) in ypager.exe, and you have a perfect way to kick someone out from chat and not let him/her/it return. They (at Yahoo) try to make it harder to write your own chat client/bot/messanger by slightly changing their CRAM (and still, it was reversed, nevermind that it nowadays consist of several MD5-like routines and is heavily obfuscated against casual reverse-engineers :P)
Couldn't hold myself, this is FD after all :)
