Yahoo! rolls out 'Captcha' for chatrooms
29/08/07 07:05 AM
Yahoo has just rolled out their captcha system for Chatrooms. This means that a user will have to authenticate his/herself by typing a challenge. This 'should' slowdown the automated 'spambots' but is unlikely to eliminate them. We'll post more new shortly.
Note: YTK Pro is completely compatible with this system.

POC Code for Webcam Vulnerability found!
18/08/07 10:58 PM
Well it looks like the source code for a Proof-Of-Concept exploit taking advantage of the Yahoo! Messenger Webcam Vulnerability is public and it's highly probable that this type of data will spawn many programs which could take advantage of this.
Remember our advice about disabling webcam invites in YTK Pro - DO IT!
Yahoo! Messenger Webcam Vulnerability
17/08/07 06:00 PM
Contrary to advice issued by McAfee and our friends at Y!TunnelPro we're recommending that users reject webcam invites altogether (from both those you know and those you don't) until a patch has been 
released by Yahoo! Messenger Developers to resolve this issue which could allow a malicious user to remotely execute code on a victims machine. Our reason for advising this "best practice" is simple - who's to know that the sender of the invite isn't a compromised account which may lead you to believe that the invite is legitimate in the first place? Who is also to say that the sender of the webcam invite isn't already infected with an IM-Worm that propagates by sending malicious webcam invites to friends from their account unknowingly.
We never underestimate the bad guys... and we encourage you not to!
Here's a short video on how to block all webcam invites from within YTK Pro.

Auto-Gawd Mode returns!

YTK Pro: Auto-Gawd
We held off publishing details having said we'd be first to react to the new changes and here's why! Just hours after Yahoo! rolled out several updates to the chat system the programmers and researchers at Torseq Tech have redesigned the 'Auto-Gawd' mode routine and it will return fully functional in the next update due before the end of this week.
In addition to the reworking of our unique 'Auto-Gawd' routine YTK Pro will include minor updates to remedy issues currently being experienced by our users.
We thank you for reading and look forward to releasing the next build of the #1 Yahoo! Messenger Integrated Companion YTK Pro

Lookin' Fine
12/08/07 05:24 PM Filed in: Program News
Development is now well underway on the new look YTK Pro. A brand new Graphical User Interface (GUI) will delight all of the YTK Pro customers with it's smooth, fresh and clean look. We believe that the user 
Interface is just as important as the technology which lies underneath it as it allows us to interact with software in a more natural way. We can safely say that our new user interface will blow all competition out of the water!
In other areas, YTK Pro now has a new product 'Tour'. The new 'Tour' is available for Firefox, Opera and Safari users. Internet Explorer users will be automatically directed towards the older version of the tour.

The latest build of YTK Pro is currently undergoing internal testing. It is considered a maintenance build and contains a few bug fixes. Expect the build to be released this week. On
another note, due to sheer volume of cases we're contemplating the introduction of an automated system to handle reactivation issues. Customer service is a priority and the response time is always of paramount importance. We welcome any comments you may have.
