Hi Guys,
Recently I noticed something very strange when using Trillian on my XP SP2.
When I try to open my yahoo mail accounts using Trillian(that is by clicking on my email ids under heading "My mail accounts"), my firefox opens and normally shows inbox of my yahoo account. But just before firefox opens , a notepad pops up showing my username and password of that email account with some other details.
The contents of the notepad are:


<html>
<head>
<script>
<!--

var username;

username='xyzphenomabc';

var password;

password='xyzabc';

function submit () {

document.getElementById('login').value=username;

document.getElementById('passwd').value=password;

document.getElementById('login_form').submit();

};

//-->

</script>

</head>

<body onLoad='submit();'>

<form method=post action="*login.yahoo.com/config/login" autocomplete=off name=login_form id=login_form onsubmit="return alert(document.forms['login_form'].login.value)">

<input type="hidden" name=".tries" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name=".src" value="ym">
<input type="hidden" name=".md5" value="">
<input type="hidden" name=".hash" value="">
<input type="hidden" name=".js" value="">
<input type="hidden" name=".last" value="2">
<input type="hidden" name="promo" value="">
<input type="hidden" name=".intl" value="us">
<input type="hidden" name=".bypass" value="">
<input type="hidden" name=".partner" value="">
<input type="hidden" name=".v" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name=".yplus" value="">
<input type="hidden" name=".emailCode" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="plg" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="stepid" value="">
<input type="hidden" name=".ev" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="hasMsgr" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name=".chkP" value="Y">
<input type="hidden" name=".done" value="*mail.yahoo.com">
<input type="hidden" id="login" name="login" size="17" value="">

<input type="hidden" name="passwd" id="passwd" size="17" maxlength="32">

<input type="hidden" name=".save" value="Sign In">
</form></body>
</html>
Is it a bug in the software or it has anything to do with the security on my system or mail account ?? because both my username and password get clearly visible in this notepad.
Please reply...
