Yahoo has
confirmed that a copy of certain user account information was stolen from Yahoo
systems in 2014. Despite the acceptance of the data leakage, it is not certain
what type of data has stolen. According to Yahoo, the data may include names,
e-mail addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, hashed passwords, and security
questions and answers. If you are lucky, just one or two of them may be stolen
for your account.
Yahoo now
does not allow people access accounts with unencrypted security questions and meanwhile,
they continue to detect unauthorized access to user accounts.
If you have
a Yahoo account, change your password and security questions for any other
accounts on which you used the same or similar information used for your Yahoo
account as soon as possible, and review your accounts for suspicious activity.
