From Bad to Worse

Yahoo was left reeling after a major embarrassment earlier this month. It was revealed that the company opens users’ emails up to government surveillance.

This led some users to take their emails elsewhere, but Yahoo recently disabled the [mail forwarding] feature “while we work to improve it,” according to a notice on the company’s help site.

It is not known how many users are looking to leave the server following revelations that the company had built software specifically for US intelligence that allowed them to scan all incoming emails for information.

That is really low.

And what will the improvement be? A way to covertly track into users' new service and surreptitiously pull those emails in for the government?

For users who aren’t comfortable with that, setting up an out-of-office message is one workaround in lieu of email forwarding. Merissa Silk who told the AP she just set up an out-of-office message that provided her new address and explained she would no longer be using Yahoo due to “recent data and privacy breaches.”

Yahoo will be needing to improve that, too.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
