Yahoo admits 1 leak of two passwords

Yahoo eventually decided to inform its service users about the size of the latest violations and leaks.

The first hack apparently took place in August 2013 and leaked names, email addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, hashed (with MD5) and in some cases, encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers.

Yahoo says in the updated warning that it has notified affected users and that it "has taken steps to secure accounts by requiring users to change their of their access.”

And yes, Yahoo admitted that the above hack is different from the breach and leakage of 500 million accounts which was revealed in September of this year.

However, the company adds that the officers are the same hackers who made the first violation.

If you are one of those who still have Yahoo accounts, change your password directly, or subscribe to company authentication service.
