Yahoo reported Thursday that at least 500 million users accounts and information are compromised.
Who did Yahoo blame after that?
State-sponsored hackers. Okay so they know who hacked it and even who has sponsored it in such a short period of time?
As you all know Yahoo agreed to sell its core business to Verizon for $4.8 billions in July this year.
And anonymous sources in Yahoo said it learned of the breach of the users accounts in July so there is a possibility that Yahoo in order to ensure the deal goes through put all those users whose accounts information have been compromised at risk. That's not good.
Further, Yahoo reported that the intrusion apparently began in 2014. So all these times till now, the company remained silent spectator?
As shown in recent dropbox case, it is better not to store any sensitive information in any online services. These companies would lie and pretend not to know without one bit of concern.
It is a must to change password, security questions immediately, sensitive emails immediately and one must also change it regularly and by regularly means in a matter of month and not years.
