kingofthehobos writes: In a move hearkening back to the days of telnet, Yahoo!'s newest addition to there mail system exposes the full usernames & passwords over the wire (or wireless) in plaintext. Both CNET news & Wired's Webmonkey are reporting on the story (although in true Wired fashion the individual is called a "hacker"). So, if you know anyone who might have installed Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop getting them to switch back to the web interface and change there password (until the issues are fixed) would be ++good.
