If you created any of these accounts prior to the breach in August 2013, itвЂ™s almost guaranteed that youвЂ™ve been affected. This figure is triple the amount they first reported, nearly every Yahoo account ever created to date including webmail, Flickr, Tumblr, and Yahoo Sports accounts had been compromised. However, this month Yahoo has reported that the number of compromised accounts is actually 3 billion.

When it comes to a data breach, 1 billion user accounts is already a monumental figure. Encrypted passwords and financial information was thankfully stored on a different server which they believe wasnвЂ™t affected.

Yahoo announced that only user names, email addresses, full names and dates of birth were compromised during the breach. This essentially means that during the Yahoo data breach, a third the companyвЂ™s customers had their account information exposed and their accounts left vulnerable without their knowledge for nearly three years. In August 2013 Yahoo suffered an enormous data breach but wasnвЂ™t publicly announced until December 2016 when at the time it was believed that 1 billion accounts, including 8 million UK accounts, had been compromised. The Yahoo data breach are considerd to be the largest discovered on the internet. This was not publically reported until 2016 which affected over 500 million Yahoo accounts.

The internet service company suffered 2 major data breaches, 1 occuring in 2013 and a seperate breach occuring in 2014. Yahoo, now owned by Verizon, is in the headlines once again and it seems that things are going from bad to worse for the internet giant.
