Yahoo Flaws Potentially Found by Egyptian Hacker

Security experts are investigating an Egyptian hacker who goes by the name “Virus_Hima”, who released screenshots of potential flaws in Yahoo’s website. This has been done before by the hacker, whose intentions may or may not be good.
One of the flaws identified by this hacker included the ability to access a full backup of one of Yahoo’s domains. The other problems included a cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection vulnerability, according to a PasteBin.com post “Yahoo data leak by Virus_Hima“.


Overall, this leak doesn't bug me as much. But, isn't Yahoo like one of the only ones who hasn't a bug bounty program yet?
