Yahoo Hacked, Up To Half a Million Users Exposed
An obscure hacker group claimed to have breached Yahoo security on Thursday, potentially compromising half a million users’ email addresses and passwords.
The group, called D33D Company, said they hoped Yahoo would see this as a “wake-up call” and tighten their security.
