The Yahoo thing is to watch it. In the process of selling the company, the only news that comes from this platform is regrettable, both for the users and for the company itself and its buyer, Verizon, who has been trying for some time to avoid complying with the sale contract it signed with Yahoo early summer. In 2014, Yahoo suffered an attack that circulated the access data of just over 500 million accounts. But as reported by the company it has not been the only one that the once internet giant has received, at least when it began to become popular with the masses.
The company has published a statement in which it states in a year before the first major hack, it suffered theft by a company of more than 1.000 million accounts, a hack very similar to that of 2014, in which access data was compromised, as well as the encrypted answers to security questions and bank card details in case of using a payment service associated with Yahoo! products.
This has definitely not been Yahoo's year. Since the arrival of Marisa Meyer from Google, the company has been falling little by little, mainly due to bad decisions, some of them affecting the privacy of users such as collaborating with the American government to create software that will allow spying on the content of emails.
What is clear is that the most advisable thing is to start putting this email service aside, if not we want to be surprised, since even if we change our access code, no one guarantees that the company will be hacked again, since pappear to have become an Olympic sport stealing data from the accounts of this company.
