⚠️Using outdated software is dangerous!⚠️
The TLS version used by the Yahoo! Messenger client is deprecated and considered insecure by modern cryptographic standards!
Furthermore, the underlying protocol that Y!M uses is a "plaintext" one, meaning that it's not secure and any data (e.g.: messages, authentication tokens, etc.) transmitted through it is not encrypted in any way shape or form.
Proceed only if you fully understand the risks you're possibly exposing yourself to!
