And from a corporate hackers prospectus, its a very useful thing. Yahoo backyard host names all have the corporate ID of the person who uses the computer on their hostname, Yahoo are a laughing stock as far as this is concerned. They use "corpid.corp.yahoo.com", so straight away the k1ds know the corporate login of the user, the real name of the user and the corporate e-mail of the user, and i'm sure Yahoo isn't the only stupid dot-com to do this.

And they don't just look to target one machine, once they get the information, they will go for the entire ISP... and look to drive-by everyone with all the public 0-day the world has on offer. Yahoo Messenger at no time alerts its users, "do you want to p2p message with this buddy?", they just secretly do it in the background. Only technical users are aware of whats going on, the rest of the teen market, single moms, retired couples are left victim to the problem.
