This isn't confidential Yahoo information.  It's not even confidential
ADP information -- any company who uses ADP's probusiness workcenter has
subjected its employees to this ridiculous password complexity
requirement.

  It appears no action will be taken against a Yahoo employee who disclosed confidential corporate side security 
information (with screenshots) to his weblog. This obviously gives the green light for anyone at Yahoo to do the same 
in the future. Why have a Yahoo policy if its not going to be inforced? Regardless of the security value of the blog 
entry, a clear breach of the confidentiality agreement between Yahoo and ADP has been made. Yahoo's response was 
"Jeremy is Jeremy, he can blog about anything he wants." Making it sound like if you're a celebrity Yahoo blogger 
then you can walk all over company policy. ADP were unavailable for comment at time of this message being submitted 
to Full-Disclosure mailing list. http://tinyurl.com/plqt3
