What is "Yahoo! Go Phone" -- I do not think that is the messenger app your using. Which I see here and doesn't seem like its called that

So ok it revoked app A, does not mean app B will not still work.. Like I said changing your password should really not revoke apps.

I went to go check my blackberry this morning - and it seems our IT dept has blocked by policy messenger Other yahoo app I found was just a mobile frontend not really an app. Wait til my son wakes up and will try on his phone, I know he uses yahoo messenger..

Dude sorry what I am seeing is not matching up with what your saying.. Now go into your apps, see that link there and do you see a messenger link. Revoke THAT, now does you messenger work on your phone?

Well, anyways, I contacted Yahoo! Security a few days ago and they came back to me saying that in some cases they found no problem and in other cases they were able to replicate the problem. I was told that they were working on a fix. That's the good news for Yahoo! users i guess

Not sure how this is gonna be deployed. Either though an app update or on their server side...

Please post said email, because to be honest I find it unlikely that they would contact you in a couple of days and admit to such an issue so openly.

You find it "unlikely". Seriously, who do you think you are to judge each of my posts like this ?
if I tell this happened, then this happened.

But then you know what. i could as well say that i don't believe what you said earlier. You just photoshoped images and invented a story as well.

It was not an email it was a phone call.
You want to see the previous warning i sent to them ? Sure. Do you read French? here is the first reply

Have fun

I work as a journalist and this French Yahoo! PR contacted Yahoo Security EMEA and Sunnyvale and call me back at lunch time

Do you also want her phone number to check ? Cause i can give it to you if you're still skeptical ? You wanna call her? Let me know i'll PM you her number but then you better record your phone conversation.

Dude I am not judging your posts, I am just saying I could not duplicate anything you were saying.

You post something that could be seen as pure SCARE MONGERING and yahoo bashing -- ie their security is flawed.

Your tests should be very easy for someone to duplicate -- I don't see anyone here in this thread saying they could duplicate your example. Seem I was the only one even attempting to verify your statements. And from my test they did not hold water - sorry!

So have you actually went in and revoked access to messenger?

I really shouldn't have to repeat myself that changing a password does not mean applications that you have given access to should be revoked from said access.

Your post of Go Yahoo when you changed your passed -- that does not seem like "messenger" to me.

So post up your applications -- I posted mine showing messenger and mail applications having access. And all I had to do was change my password and email on my KF instantly required password to re access. But to be honest I should really have to revoke the access directly to cause what it did.

So actually Revoke messanger application from having access and then lets see your access and there might be something to talk about.

You have not shown anything backing up your claim that makes sense, and then you say you contacted Yahoo and they got back to you saying that they duplicated your issue some times, in 2 days they lab this out and got back to you -- come on dude how can someone not be skeptical at such claims.

Again what do you not understand here?

YES i did manually revok those applications and YES again, described in the first post, i was able to access Y! Messenger after that

Yahoo Go Phone is a former java-based Yahoo Mobile app. It is immediately added to my Yahoo account when first signing Yahoo! Messenger on the iPhone which means that Yahoo Go became Yahoo! Messenger

And this is precisely written by the web user in the link i mention in my 1st post.
