Yahoo Says Hackers Stole Information From Over 1 Billion Accounts (go.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a breaking report from ABC News: Yahoo says it believes hackers stole data from more than one billion user accounts in August 2013. The Sunnyvale, California, company says it's a different breach from the one it disclosed in September, when it said 500 million accounts were exposed. That new hack revelation raises questions about whether Verizon will try to change the terms of its $4.8 billion proposed acquisition of Yahoo. Yahoo says the information stolen may include names, email addresses, phone numbers, birthdates and security questions and answers. The company says it believes bank-account information and payment-card data were not affected.
They haven't caused a major oil or chemical spill, so strictly speaking they haven't failed in every conceivable way!
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.

It is annoying. People that overuse hyperbole should be literally shot. :)
Why would Verizon care if a company they are buying is horribly insecure? Especially when Yahoo's users don't seem to care.
They might see it as a plus! "Finally, customers we can really abuse that will put up with it!"
Seems to indicate major incompetence.
Hush, you fool! If you imply that a female CEO is anything less than amazing you'll have the SJW's showing up to protest our misogyny!
OH GOD, IT'S TOO LATE! Here they come! HOW DID THEY MAKE THOSE SIGNS SO FAST?!?
SJW: Someone who has run out of real oppression, and has to fake it.
So I think I'm just going to go to the darknet markets and sell all my personal info directly. At least then I get a cut.

What part of "shall not be infringed" is so hard to understand?
