Yahoo abandons T-shirt rewards for vulnerability information

2013-10-03 14:12:03| InfoWorld: Top News

Yahoo will stop giving T-shirts as a reward for finding security vulnerabilities after a public shaming it's calling "t-shirt gate."The company received a drubbing from the Swiss security company High-Tech Bridge after it found four serious vulnerabilities in Yahoo's network, all of which have now been fixed. Three of those problems -- cross-site scripting flaws -- could have allowed an attacker to hijack a person's Yahoo email account.
