Security Breach at Yahoo! On September 23, 2016, it was revealed that Yahoo! joined other high-profile companies Home Depot Inc., Target Corporation, Anthem and Blue Cross as a victim of cyberattacks. In this incident, which began in 2014, 500 million Yahoo! user accounts were stolen. This made it one of the largest breaches, three times the size of other attacks. In December 2016, Yahoo! revealed yet another breach that had occurred in 2013. In that incident 1 billion user accounts were compromised-double the size of the 2014 attack. Yet on October 4, 2017, Verizon, the parent company of Yahoo! announced that the breach in August 2013 affected every single customer account that existed at the time. Altogether 3 Billion accounts including e-mail Tumblr, Fantasy and Flickr. This is three times as many as the company initially reported in 2016. The stolen information included names, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, dates of births, and encrypted passwords. Some encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers were also included in this list. According to the company, unprotected passwords, payment card data and bank account information have not been compromised. Yahoo! urged its users to change their passwords and security questions right away and to review their accounts for suspicious activities. Users should choose strong passwords and update their security questions. A password manager could also be helpful for generating strong passwords and storing them with related security questions and answers. It is not clear why a breach that took place in 2014 was revealed in 2016 and nearly two months after the first appearance of the dumped data on the dark Web, where it was being sold by a user who had also sold dumps of data from Myspace and LinkedIn. It is also not clear the extent to which passwords were protected by Yahoo!. The company also did not encrypt all the security questions that it stored. Questions: 1.
