Yahoo threat......
 I am not sure if this must be posted here or the Security forum...ok...Does Yahoo messenger store the login name and password in a cookie whenever anyone logs in and logs out? if so, is it possible to decrypt the password from it using any software... I am asking this because on guy told me that he has found a software that decrypts the passwords from the cookie....i even checked if the cookie exist...it does ...."current_user_name@yahoo.com" |

Why do you ask? We have forum rules here that prohibit password cracking assistance.

I don't know if this is the case, but if it concerns you, just delete the cookies.
