Yahoo Messenger Releases Update to Patch Webcam Chat Vulnerability

[img src="" caption="" credit="" alt=""]

In its second update released this year, Yahoo Messenger has offered an update for patching a vulnerability in its webcam video chat feature. The vulnerability is a virus that will execute malicious code on your computer if you accept a webcam invitation from this party. This vulnerability in Yahoo Messenger's webcam chat tool was discovered last week. You'll need to download the latest version in order to get this patch fixed--or just don't use the video chat feature with malicious people.

Other companies with revealed security issues as of late include Facebook, on more than one occasion, MySpace, YouTube, and Skype.
