Are account has been stolen?

Smack dat · 09-22-2016, 03:10 PM

The hack was from 2014, any useful accounts have already been compromised.

Yahoo suck and they should die.

Brasshat, but just to copy & paste shitty death and race news stories to earn his gfy pennies.

I have an account with Yahoo - most of us do - but I rarely use it. I changed my password this morning.

This will become a regular thing - large companies being hacked and data stolen in bulk. It is what it is.

If the data was encrypted properly hackers wouldn't bother hacking because they wouldn't gain anything from it.
Too many companies are lazy around security.

passwords need changed regularly

C H R I S · 09-22-2016, 05:11 PM

Yahoo is still a thing?

although it is suggested all over the net, changing passwords regularly doesn't change a thing or have any sensible merit for web related stuff

either your data will be compromised or it won't with or without your password. IF you suspect your passwords can or could be compromised, then yes, change them, possibly regularly.

otherwise using strong long unique passwords is good enough, changing them once in a while

In other news....Yahoo still exists.

It's a thing that happened in 2014

ErectMedia · 09-22-2016, 06:53 PM

Just need 2 factor text message security and then them having your info does them no good.

Barry-xlovecam · 09-23-2016, 05:47 AM

If it happened in 2014 why did Yahoo's management just find it out and admit it? Or, how was Yahoo (YHOO) able to conceal the data compromise for so long?

Verizon (VZ) was going to buy out Yahoo, now the deal looks shaky, but both stocks went up yesterday YHOO marginally 0.02% and VZ 0.93%.
Yahoo has negotiations pending for a $4.8 billion sale to Verizon --- for what exactly?

The important part is no payment data PCI-DSS was compromised. Using free webmail accounts for any real business communication is risky

Yahoo has been on life-support for some time.
If you want a brand destruction model -- Yahoo! will be a legend maybe.

This news report from 2014 Have millions of Yahoo email account passwords been stolen? | Daily Mail Online states that there are 273 million accounts so how come this article says 500 million accounts. That's a big difference.

Yahoo is the second-largest email service worldwide, after Google's Gmail, according to the research firm comScore.

Because it is written

I think that it is not official. comScore. I think is that it is the numbers that were put out as the estimated.
Because this time of the 500 would be the official figures of Yahoo.

If so comScore because numerical value is to announce is like proved to be useless anything. . .
