So Yahoo had a 500 million account security breach…

…and now Yahoo has come up with a new way to effectively lock up my email. First it warns you that your account information may be compromised; and then, when you click on the link to fix the problem, it times out and doesn’t load the page.  …And now you can see why I only keep that particular email account around for throwaway or family stuff.  Oh, how the mighty have fallen…

PS: It really is just Yahoo messing up, by the way.  They had 500 million accounts raided for info.  which would be freaking me out, except that I stopped using Yahoo for anything sensitive a decade ago.

One thought on “So Yahoo had a 500 million account security breach…”

  1. In 2014. I vaguely remember getting a while lot of weird email (that I ignored) from people on my contact list about then.
