Sogou exposes Yahoo! Mail accounts, personal information and security questions

February 25 news, according to a netizen who revealed this information to NetEase Technology, he accidentally found that his personal registration information for his Yahoo email could be found in the search results of Sogou while using the Sogou search engine. Later, the netizen discovered that it wasn't just him whose personal information was leaked; by searching site:member.cn.yahoo.com, 1,358 related web pages could be found. According to the information provided by the netizen, the personal information that Sogou crawled from Yahoo Mail included Yahoo ID, Yahoo email, date of birth, security questions and answers. Based on the information in the search results, one only needs to know the leaked user's postal code to easily steal the user's email account. The user exclaimed to us, "Sogou is too powerful, Yahoo is too secure." NetEase Technology also found that besides Yahoo Mail, Sogou can also search for personal information of掌中宽带 (Zhang Zhong Kuandai) users, including the network card number and phone number, package type, monthly consumption amount, and account balance. Strangely, apart from Yahoo, neither Baidu nor Google can find similar information.
