In September 2016, Yahoo revealed a hack that compromised 500 million user accounts. In December, the company revealed yet another hack, this time affecting a record 1 billion accounts. On Tuesday, Yahoo updated that number to all 3 billion accounts its services. And yes, that includes yours. The hack exposed names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, encrypted passwords and unencrypted security questions. Here's what you can do now to protect yourself.

ReplyDeleteOur lives are an open book.
ReplyDeleteLuckily, I was saved from any Yahoo exposure, because Yahoo never liked me anyway.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I tried to use a Yahoo service, it would screw up on me. I had a Yahoo email account, but then Yahoo wouldn't let me login to it. Anything with a Yahoo login suddenly stopped allowing me to use it, but I never found out why. I usually found a way around the problem, but they just kept on occurring, so I gave up using anything connected to Yahoo.
Now I'm grateful that Yahoo made it impossible for me to use it!
I had much the same experience espy
