Yahoo to go public about massive data breach affecting its 200 million users
Yahoo!
The data dump allegedly included usernames, encrypted passwords, birthdays and other email addresses from 2012.
Its as bad as that, one source told Recode.
The data was being sold for 3 bitcoins, worth $1,860 at the time.
Our security team is working to determine the facts.
So, it would be interesting to see if the deal would face repercussions due to the breach.
Yahoo is rumoured to make its announcement this week.
If Yahoo confirms the news, this would become the biggest hack of its kind in the Yahoo history.
If you own a Yahoo account, it would be ideal to change your password as soon as possible.
