Regarding the WhatsApp&Telegram web app exploit: The malicious URL would be a 3rd-party domain right? So if a user installed an extension like noscript on their browser, it seems like they wouldn't be vulnerable to this attack.

I should just really switch from my main yahoo mail account to gmail, right? It'll be a HUGE hassle, but I'll try to do it as fast as possible.

I dunno, the the Yahoo story seems like it could be easily fabricated by cough CIA cough who has the means to specialize in making hack attacks appear as if they were done by someone else. Everything in that court document could be easily fabricated by anyone including that screenshot that has text in Russian.
