SAN FRANCISCO
Yahoo confirmó el jueves que 500 millones de sus cuentas han sido infiltradas y que la información personal de los usuarios ha sido robada.
El robo de datos, el más grave para la atribulada compañía cibernética, data de fines del 2014.

Los datos robados incluyen nombres, direcciones de correo electrónico, fechas de nacimiento, contraseñas y preguntas para verificar la identidad. Yahoo asegura que el responsable es "una entidad patrocinada por un estado".
Yahoo recomienda que todos los usuarios cambien su contraseña si es que no la han cambiado desde el 2014.

We have confirmed, based on a recent investigation, that a copy of certain user account information was stolen from our network in late 2014 by what we believe is a state-sponsored actor. The account information may have included names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, hashed passwords (the vast majority with bcrypt) and, in some cases, encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers.  The ongoing investigation suggests that stolen information did not include unprotected passwords, payment card data, or bank account information; payment card data and bank account information are not stored in the system that the investigation has found to be affected.
