Yahoo Confirms Massive Hack, About 500 million users Affected

2 Min Read

Marisa  Mayer, the CEO of Yahoo confirmed two days ago that there had been a large-scale hack that has affected hundreds of millions of users since August of this year.

The company said that certain account information was stolen from the company’s network in late 2014 , in what is believed  to be a state – sponsored  ‘actor’

It is not clear who the ‘actor’ is at the moment.

Yahoo was made aware of the reports two days ago and pledged to investigate. A statement was also added stating  that the investigator found no evidence  that the  state -sponsored actor is currently  in the company’s network.

According  to the results from the investigation, Yahoo found out that the details of about 500 million users accounts was stolen. This was confirmed in a statement by the US internet  giant. Law enforcement agents are working closely with Yahoo on this matter.

Some account information affected include; Names,  Email address, Phone  number,  birthdays, hashed passwords and encrypted or unencrypted security questions  and answers.

Yahoo gave a recommendation  for users to change their passwords  as soon as possible and use alternate methods of account. The stolen information  did not include unprotected  passwords,  payment card data or bank account information.

This is just another example of a disturbing trend that is online intrusion  and theft by state sponsored  action which has become  increasingly  common  across the technology  industry.

Programs have been launched by Yahoo and other companies to detect and notify users when a company strongly suspect  that a state sponsored  actor has targeted  an account.
