#28496: Consider dropping yahoo from the bridgedb email domains ------------------------------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: arma | Owner: dgoulet Type: enhancement | Status: assigned Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Circumvention/BridgeDB | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: anti-censorship-roadmap-2019 | Actual Points: Parent ID: | Points: 1 Reviewer: | Sponsor: Sponsor19 ------------------------------------------+---------------------------
Comment (by phw): I learned from a researcher that Yahoo lets you create up to 500 disposable email addresses, which are intended for third-party newsletters: [[Image(yahoo.png)]] BridgeDB interprets these disposable addresses as unique users, which makes it easy for an attacker to get a disproportionately large number of bridges. We could teach BridgeDB to recognise disposable Yahoo addresses but at this point the better way forward may be to just disable Yahoo altogether. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/28496#comment:8> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
