  @maximlott @PCivilization @PrisonPlanet The barriers to creating a web site are far lower than creating a power company. We’ve had competing social network companies for years, from AOL to MySpace to G+. Creating another WalMart would be harder, but we don’t demand they give away products for free.

  2/3 PortSwigger's Gareth Heyes showed it at Black Hat. One Outlook chain spoofs a Microsoft sign in and grabs the typed password. A Yahoo/AOL paste race leaks a login token. A Gmail chain exfiltrates a Slack token after prompt injection. #InfoSec #Privacy #CyberAttack

  There's a line in The Lean Startup that stung when I read it last week: "learning" is the oldest excuse in the book for a failure of execution. Eric Ries tells the story of IMVU's first product. His team spent six months building an instant-messaging add-on, based on a genuinely smart-sounding strategy: piggyback on existing IM networks (AOL, Yahoo!, MSN), ride their network effects, spread virally through people's existing friend lists. Whiteboard-brilliant. They launched. Nobody used it. When they finally sat real customers down in front of the product, every assumption fell apart. Customers weren't scared of learning new software - the average teenager ran eight IM clients at once. They didn't want to chat with existing friends through avatars - they wanted to meet strangers. The "obvious" barrier the whole strategy was built around wasn't a barrier at all. Ries's point isn't "test more." It's sharper than that: in a startup, any effort that doesn't produce evidence about what customers actually want is waste - no matter how well it's executed. He calls the real version of this validated learning, to separate it from the after-the-fact story you tell yourself when something doesn't work. I'm sitting in a smaller version of that exact test right now with Owoye. One of the assumptions baked into the product is that WhatsApp and IG sellers want their invoices auto-matched to incoming payments. It sounds obviously useful from where I sit. But that's precisely the position IMVU's team was in - certain, and wrong, about what would remove friction for their customer. So this week will not be spent refining the feature. It will be spent in conversations with actual sellers, watching how they track who's paid right now - screenshots, memory, WhatsApp scrollback - before deciding whether "auto-match" solves their problem or just mine. The uncomfortable question worth asking about your own product this week: is the thing you're building solving a problem your customer has, or a problem you have with how your customer works?

  This will fail. MySpace was founded by ******* spammers with a stolen email list. I knew them personally. This is just the animated corpse of AOL and Yahoo trying to get a single cent out of what's left....pathetic

  AOL and Time Warner merged in a $165,000,000,000 deal, and two years later the company wrote off $99,000,000,000 in a single year. The announcement came in January 2000, weeks before the dot-com peak. An internet company buying one of the largest media empires on earth. AOL was the smaller business by revenue and profit. It had the stock price, which was the currency that made the deal possible. Steve Case and Gerald Levin stood on stage and called it the future. Dial-up subscribers plus film studios, cable systems, magazines, and music. Then the bubble burst. AOL's advertising revenue collapsed, and the subscriber business began dying as broadband arrived and nobody needed dial-up anymore. The cultures never combined. Time Warner executives resented being bought with inflated paper, and the AOL side found the media business slow. In 2002 the company reported a loss of about $99,000,000,000, the largest annual loss in American corporate history. Almost all of it was writing down the value of AOL itself. The AOL name came off the company in 2003. The two businesses split apart entirely in 2009. Levin later apologized publicly and called himself responsible. The biggest deal ever signed destroyed more value than most companies ever create.

  PortSwigger reveals new CSS attack chains breaking webmail defenses to steal passwords and tokens. The techniques compromise major platforms including Microsoft Outlook, Gmail, Fastmail, Proton Mail, Yahoo Mail, and AOL Mail. One Outlook and Firefox attack chain spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen to capture typed passwords in real-time. A Yahoo and AOL vulnerability allows attackers to reconstruct a 12-character Medium login token to hijack accounts. The research remains strictly proof-of-concept with no active malicious exploitation reported as of August 8. Security teams can't keep relying on sanitizers to block CSS when browsers and AI assistants inherently trust the interface context.
