Hello,
If you have or had a Yahoo mail acocunt that you care about please take a moment to make sure that it's still active.
Yahoo is going to release and make available for re-registration all old email addresses that have been inactive for over 12 months.
Pro: You might have the chance to get a cool or short username @yahoo.com
The cons include the fact that someone else can now get your old email address and possibly start receiving email or gain access that could be used to compromise your other accounts.
It seems Yahoo is assuming that everyone else will put processes in place to deactivate accounts when Yahoo says an email address is no longer valid & likely changing ownership.
