#TriHerbal Woman✨ (@TRIhunna) reported from Chicago, IllinoisPlease update your app. It’s AOL dial up type slow @ShopifySupport. It literally crashes every 3 commands. Also, it would behoove you to make it an option to be able to print labels/ packing slips in bulk as opposed to which day they’re purchased Printing shouldn’t be a hassle

Helena (@thelastpinkcar) reported from Chicago, IllinoisGeez @verizon I pay $330/month for 6 devices on a family plan, and I can only use my jetpack for approximately two weeks of normal internet usage, and then you slow me down to pre-AOL dial-up speeds. Just hate this. That's not fair at all.

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.

CALIBER50 (@Caliber50MG) reported@wtfcetialpha5 @brockpierson Wait…… They don’t anymore? My AOL subscription is up for renewal, and I was thinking about going with something different than my phone jack plug. Kinda sucks not being able to receive phone calls when I’m on the ‘puter!….😬

Chris (@CinemaPrincipia) reported@DustyRondeau @PJB170 @WeWatchedAMovie I'm sorry but do you really think parents pimping out their kids is best addressed by going after people other than the parents. Also, that wasn't what these stings were. There are statistics on molestation. 1 in 5 children are propositioned on the internet. It happened to me regularly in the old AOL days. (AOL did nothing to crack down on it initially) However, that is not who molested me. The number of kids molested by a stranger online is so small it isn't even statistically significant. Because I'm a survivor, I've talked to other survivors a lot in different groups and literally have never met anybody who was molested by a stranger.

Surf2000 (@JToddBurt1) reported@youfadedwealth @CryptoMichNL Ignorant statement. Thats like saying in early 2000s that Tech in general is never coming back because stocks like aol have no future.

TheArtisReport (@GrandaddySpeak1) reportedIt’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.
