Beware!

[Pepe n Pilar]

So if a message can be copied and pasted and will appear that if is a chat log happened, then anyone could be in danger!

So that means a person who knows how to do this can just pick names he/she wanted? then pick a name she never chatted with.... what's the purpose of doing that?

Hmmm there must be a reason behind it....

No i guess i just need to know your Email address used for your IM then i just suss out your password.

Which can be done either by social engineering (ie from sussing out info about you or even somehow getting the password from you)
That or just using a program to go though all the combinations.

You could (with out looking into it) simply sniff the data sent from your yahho messagner or emaill account to yahoo.

I could simply with some password operated applications use the forgotten password function of course some will send to your email account others may allow access another way.

Used a shared pc and not logging out and clearing temp folders etc. Plenty of examples on here of people finding them chatting to people in internet cafes because the person they spoke to didn't log out correctly.

There are plenty of other ways of finding out passwords, i know of including due to not using https and only http and im sure ones i dont know off.

People leave notes around the computer (or on it which could be found by a hacker/rogue application)

People use so simple passwords (Even password!) or the default password.

People use passwords which are easy to guess if you know the person. Loved ones, area they from, intrest, football teams etc.


Anyways I hope it all gets sorted for you Kimmi
