Yahoo Hacked

I wonder what best practice is for consumer websites which have domains like yahoo.com which has mostly customers, and yahoo-inc.com for corporate, for things like security@ addresses. It's reasonable someone wouldn't know about yahoo-inc.com.

Is this a new phenomenon? I always felt that Yahoo's systems weren't secure. Until I shut down my Yahoo accounts, it would be a semi-regular occurrence for both my Yahoo email and IM to send out spam to everyone in my Yahoo contacts list. Am I wrong? I've since shut down my account since I got sick of dealing with it.

This is a courageous disclosure since the OP risks to be in some trouble for his "ethical probing".

I am pretty surprised he didn't disclose it anonymously to be honest.
