The company disclosed today that it has discovered a breach of more than one billion user accounts that occurred in August 2013. The breach is believed to be separate and distinct from the theft of data from 500 million accounts that Yahoo reported this September.
It’s like Yahoo were worried that they were being outdone in the race for “shittest thing of 2016”.
Seriously, one billion [insert Dr. Evil GIF] accounts? What the hell Yahoo? Do you have any accounts left to give passwords out for?
If you have ever had a Yahoo account or perhaps a Flickr or another affiliated service of theirs GO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD!
And if you use that password repeatedly like a person begging to have their identity stolen go and change it everywhere else too! Then install a password manager.
