Yahoo said in September that 500 million Yahoo account holders had had their email information hacked. They are now saying that another hack occurred in 2013 affecting over 1 billion users. Now, if it is true that it happened in 2013, it either took Yahoo three years to figure out they'd been hacked to such a large extent, or they knew it and decided not to say anything about it.
Either way, they haven't done right by their users. You have to assume that your Yahoo email account and everything in it has been hacked and is now in the possession of someone somewhere you don't even know. And, thanks to Yahoo, they've had that information for over three years.
I don't know about you, but I'm shutting down all Yahoo accounts immediately and moving to AOL or GMail. I'm also changing passwords on any and all accounts anywhere that are the same as or similar to my Yahoo accounts.
These guys are so dumb they should be working for the government. Maybe they're secretly Russian spies?
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
