RE: How to obtain a yahoo username off a computer

["matt willson" <mwillson () sbcglobal net>]

Put a sniffer on that network and you'll have the world of yahoo..not
one of yahoos applications is encrypted. Back in my black hat days I was
flooded with accounts that I didn't even want, off my logs. Iadvise all
my family, and clients not to use yahoo period.

Subject: How to obtain a yahoo username off a computer

Hello!  We have a security issue and need to know who is using a
particular Yahoo user ID from within our company.  We are about 90%
certain of the person's identity.  This user has been deleting his
cookies and temp Internet files.  We want to search his computer to see
if Yahoo ID xxxx is somewhere on his computer.   We know the Yahoo user
ID - we just need to confirm that this person is using it.  We don't
want to contact Yahoo because we don't want to go down the legal road
needed to get them to release the info.  Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Tim
