Massive Yahoo Data Breach: 500 million accounts affected

Change your password and account info

from WinCustomize Forums

 

Just heard this one on the news, Yahoo's been breached to the tune of 200 million accounts.

Not much to say beyond, "If you have an account on Yahoo, best to change your password."

You can do that by signing in and then going to your account.

 

Update: It looks like the biggest breach in history: 500 million accounts' info breached, not 200 million as reported at first.

I'd treat it as if there was a complete breach of your account data and change your account password.

Happens all the time and until we start catching and handling hackers more seriously (life without parole or the death sentence if they would rather), it will continue to happen.  #:(
