Η Yahoo! αποκάλυψε ότι το 2013 παραβιάστηκαν το σύνολο των email λογαριασμών της

What Happened?

On December 14, 2016, Yahoo announced that, based on its analysis of data files provided by law enforcement, the company believed that an unauthorized party stole data associated with certain user accounts in August 2013. Yahoo notified the users it had identified at that time as potentially affected. We recently obtained additional information and, after analyzing it with the assistance of outside forensic experts, we have determined that your user account information also was likely affected.

What Information Was Involved?

What We Are Doing

In connection with the December 2016 announcement, Yahoo took action to protect users (including you) beyond those identified at that time as potentially affected. Specifically:

• Yahoo required potentially affected users to change their passwords.

• Yahoo also required all other users who had not changed their passwords since the time of the theft to do so.

• Yahoo invalidated unencrypted security questions and answers so they cannot be used to access an account.

What You Can Do

While Yahoo already has taken action to help secure your account, we encourage you to consider the following account security recommendations:

• Change your passwords and security questions and answers for any other accounts on which you used the same or similar information used for your Yahoo account.

• Review your accounts for suspicious activity.

• Be cautious of any unsolicited communications that ask for your personal information or refer you to a web page asking for personal information.

• Avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from suspicious emails.
