Yahoo’s 2013 hack, again in the news

Posted on October 4, 2017 at 00:21 CDT by Kirsty • Comment in the Forums

Reports have showed up all over the place in the last several hours, stating that ALL 3 BILLION (yes, with a B) Yahoo accounts were hacked in the 2013 data breach.

Here’s the Reuters report.

A reminder from ZDNet’s Zack Whittaker, not to trash an old Yahoo account, or it could be re-used:

Secure your Yahoo account with 2FA, but do not delete it. Deleting it will recycle your account after 30 days — and anyone can hijack it.

Other data breach, Yahoo Mail
