I'm not sure the yahoo is 100% at fault. You should consider deleting the
posix subsystem and other hardening techniques. [Well, to be fair, this
wouldn't block the person from putting the files there, just making the
folder so hard to delete, but probably indicates that other things haven't
been done to secure the computer as well.]
For instructions as to how, search www.google.com , or one of the hardening
documents below will contain it:
