  It’s 2026. You know you your Internet service sucks when you had a better Internet connection during the old AOL days. And it didn’t cost as much then, either.

  I developed my entire internet access via American Online AOL dial up service and after. It treats me like a very abnormal normal person. I have been balancing the entire internet.

  PortSwigger's Gareth Heyes demonstrated CSS/HTML sanitizer-bypass attacks against 6 major webmail providers at Black Hat USA 2026, letting content inside an email escape the message boundary and hit the trusted interface: - Outlook (+Firefox): label-jacking spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen, captures the typed password - Gmail: image-set() bypass chained with prompt injection via Claude Cowork's Gmail connector to steal a Slack token - Yahoo/AOL: paste-race bug exposes a 12-character Medium login token - Fastmail: two CSS mutation bugs plus a UI-hijacking flaw, since fixed - Proton Mail: proxy bypass that leaked recipient IPs, patched on retest Public PoCs are still live. Guidance: isolate HTML email in sandboxed iframes, restrict CSS.

  New research just dropped: CSS in emails is a silent bomb. Webmail clients try to sanitize styles so they’re “safe.” Researchers at PortSwigger just showed how those sanitizers can be broken, letting attackers steal login tokens, hijack clicks inside Outlook, track opens, and even pull off attacks with zero JavaScript. Gmail, Outlook, Fastmail, ProtonMail, Yahoo, AOL all in the firing line.

  @01Patriot1776 Back in the AOL days? My brother talked me into the chat rooms.. I did it as a goof and never serious. I met a lady who just thought I was funny and her husband was in the same chat room.? Became friends online. I met them and he sent me a lot of work.. lifelong friends

  New 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.

  @AOL email down on #Chrome, tells me I have no internet connection when I do, and that I have no emails in my inbox when I have thousands! Fine on Firefox, no problem when using that. UK. Anyone else got same??

  @0xljki obviously there was demand for bandwidth in '99, most people or businesses had none (this is kinda binary and you had to lay pipes throughout the whole country) operationally, this was a high margin business - you lay the pipe once (expensive capex) & but then can AOL CDs to every households, with virtually no marginal cost for addtl customer. "compute buyers have high margins" - brother what have you been smoking. xAI (admittedly now a compute seller) is losing gazillions - maybe that's why they went from buying/producing compute to selling. OAI/ANT have no published financials but spoiler, they are losing billions per year 1/2
