Mic Wright 🏳️🌈🏴☠️ (@brokenbottleboy) reported from Poplar, EnglandWhen it first arrived — and I made a blog there within the first two months of its public existence — @tumblr was the near perfect blogging platform. Then AOL destroyed it. Now it’s a horrible jail where I can’t get rid of this dumb screen. Thanks @automatic.

Mike Yardley (@YardleyShooting) reported from City of London, EnglandUtterly useless service from AOL/Yahoo/TalkTalk yet again following my complaint reference the breakdown/failure of their systems. So irritating when you pay for a service and don't get it. I was told by a rep ref. AOL: "it's a very old platform.." as if that was an excuse. @AOL

Mike Yardley (@YardleyShooting) reported from City of London, EnglandI was told by a rep ref. AOL: "it's a very old platform.." as if that was an excuse. If it doesn't work, they shouldn't take my money. @TalkTalk is a useless outfit too. I was called for months by fake Indian call centres after their data hack. My home internet sucks. @AOL @Ofcom

Offensive Lab (@OffensiveLab) reportedNew research shows content inside an email can escape its message boundary and interfere with the webmail interface. Across attack chains spanning Outlook, Gmail, Fastmail, Proton Mail, Yahoo Mail, and AOL Mail, the techniques can capture passwords, take over third-party accounts, leak tokens, hijack trusted UI actions, and manipulate AI tools that read email. PortSwigger researcher Gareth Heyes presented the work at Black Hat USA 2026. One Outlook/Firefox chain spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen and captures the password a recipient types. A Yahoo/AOL paste race can expose a Medium email-login token and let an attacker sign in as the victim. A Gmail/Cowork chain can exfiltrate a Slack token after prompt injection and user interaction. The paper presents proof-of-concept research and does not report malicious exploitation. Public PoCs remain available as of August 8. The researcher said Fastmail fixed two CSS mutation bugs and a Proton Mail proxy bypass stopped working when he retested it, while Outlook label-jacking and Gmail's image-set() bypass still worked when the research was published on August 6. The paper does not state whether the full Outlook password-capture chain was fixed. For webmail providers, the paper recommends isolating HTML email in sandboxed iframes and tightly restricting CSS, custom attributes, select menus, and image requests.

Shittalking_Pod (@Shittalking_Pod) reportedWe have been doing things on the internet since back when the internet first became a thing. We operated telnet systems for several years out of our Spare bedroom. Long before AOL even. It takes a special type of fool to think someone in Africa is going to help us grow.

Randall (@iamtandyfox) reported@Matt_Pinner I’ve never had an AOL account!

Magimetal👨💻🤖 (@MagiMetal) reported@araseb_ Geocities and AOL Instant Messenger hands down. Really where I got started with code

HedgeAlgo 🇺🇸 (@MarginCall4) reported$SPCX is an AoL that experiments with rockets. Same internet service provider and advertising biz as America Online of 1990s.

alexandra (@aewjan1965) reported@MAnneAmbrose1 I still use my aol email address it’s coming up for 30 years now I have never tried contacting them, I do think the internet was nicer back then with chat rooms rather than just social media stuff, it was less superficial

matt stevens (@mattst73) reported@distributedkv Once compute is available we will leave this current token war setup. This is much like the AOL charge by the minute internet back in the 90's. Then some brave souls that where smaller just said unlimited internet for 20 bucks a month. Then the communication companies offered DSL and access to the service for $50 a month. More than likely we will have some small data centers maybe 10 racks serving a neighborhood. Do you really need 2 trillion perimeters to write posts, summarize emails?

Valphrex (@Valphrex) reported@oldmedia I know that this is kind of dumb, but I actually miss the AOL dial-up. It was annoying, and it kept my parents from being able to call anyone, but it was a very specific time we'll never get back. I was a young teenager experiencing online freedom for the first time.
