Yahoo “should have done this earlier,” Sorin Mustaca, IT security expert at Avira, told TechNewsWorld, “but they were tackling other problems — losing users, revenue issues, losing market share — so security, as a nonfunctional requirement, was left to the end.”

“SSL is not the solution to all problems,” said Avira’s Mustaca. “There are plenty of others out there: malware; vulnerabilities in Yahoo’s online services and those from their partners; and adware.”
