Do You Have a YAHOO Account? Did You Know It’s Available on the Dark Web?

in technology •  7 years ago  (edited)

It was brought to my attention recently that it was confirmed that nearly every single Yahoo account in existence has been hacked or breached in some way; the number of accounts is in the BILLIONS. If you have a Yahoo account, and haven't changed the password in years, now is a great time to do so!



Looks like the Open Hack Day in 2008 wasn't as successful as they planned, or perhaps more successful than they'd ever dreamed, depending on how you look at it.


To read an article detailing the Yahoo breach, check this out: http://money.cnn.com/2017/10/03/technology/business/yahoo-breach-3-billion-accounts/index.html

I was recently told that you could go on the Dark Web and acquire HUNDREDS of yahoo accounts and passwords for PENNIES! That's a lot of peoples' sensitive data for sale! Make sure you don't use Yahoo, and make sure you don't get DOXED.

You clearly don't want to me sleep tonight.

Thanks for the info.

Scary...but definitely useful. I'll be changing my password ASAP.

Hope this info found you at a good time!
