Suit Seeks $5 Million from Yahoo for Wiretap Violations

Class action lawyers have seized upon a ruling against Google to file a new lawsuit against Yahoo on behalf of 100 million people who do not use Yahoo Mail but have communicated with someone who does. The suit, which seeks at least $5 million, claims that Yahoo violates the Wiretap Act and related California laws that forbid intercepting private communications.
