Yahoo Hack The size of Yahoo's hack is so monstrous, it's hard to wrap heads around the attack. At least 500 million accounts had data stolen from names to email addresses, phone numbers to passwords and dates of birth. It's being called the biggest data breach on record — and it happened two years ago. Yahoo is offering no details on why it's taken so long for the company to learn about the hack. But the company, which is currently in deals to be bought by Verizon for nearly $5 billion, said it believes the hacker was a "state-sponsored actor." The only move is for Yahoo users to change their passwords—which is good advice for anyone who has an online account to do periodically. And that, basically, means anyone. While that doesn't retrieve their lost information. It does at least attempt to protect their accounts for now. That is, if anyone still feels comfortable using Yahoo.
