Yahoo hacked again. 1 billion accounts compromised.

Yahoo Says 1 Billion User Accounts Were Hacked

I'm not sure what they're doing wrong, but they're definitely not doing anything right. 1 billion Yahoo accounts have been hacked, this is the second time in just a couple of years. Last time this happened it was approximately 500 million accounts.

 

At least I have 2 billion mules, only 50% was lost!

But seriously who in their right minds uses yahoo when gmail is so much more secure in every way and has a better track history?

 

May i remind you this is the company that refused to buy google like 3 times.
They like fucking up. its their thing

 

the people of 2006

 

Wasn't Yahoo bought out by...Verizon?

 

the 1 bil hack was in 2013 and the 500 mil hack was in 2014 lol, your timeline is all fucked pal

did you even read the article you linked lmao

 

At least they seem to be improving. Going from 2013 to 2014 they were able to cut their accounts breached in half from 1 billion to 500 million aha

 

The hackers made like 900k

 

I didn't get hacked I have login authentication enabled no need to change password ever.

 

Source?

 

Himself. Busted!

 

Stolen Yahoo data sold three times for $300.000
The group Komarov had been surveilling, which he calls Group E, was carefully keeping the sale off of public cybercrime forums. They said they had a database of logins for more than 500 million -- perhaps up to 1 billion -- Yahoo accounts for sale for $300,000.

Komarov watched the hacker group sell the database three times, and he was able to intercept the database during the sales. Two buyers were large spamming groups that are on the Spamhaus Register of Known Spam Operations, or ROKSO, list. The other had an unusual request before completing the purchase. The buyer gave the sellers a list of ten names of U.S. and foreign government officials and business executives, to verify their logins were part of the database. That led Komarov to speculate the buyer was a foreign intelligence agency.

 

Fuck, hackers now have access to my club penguin account.

 

Lets all leave yahoo behind in 2016 lel

 

Yahoo is still relevant?

 

Gmail accounts are easier to recover than Runescape accounts. That's saying a lot!

 

Gmails are known for being pretty secure, while anyone with a small portion of a dox can recover a runescape account its notoriously easy lol

 

In 2012 it was easy to recover accounts. Not so easy today. Though someone with a good bit of knowledge can manipulate the system still.

 

yeah I was part of the breach thats why Im locked out of my old account on here...
