If you have, or had an account with Yahoo, chances are you're included. Probably too late now, but change your password.

When I heard this on the news this morning I thought surely this is old news...but yes I realised this has happened to Yahoo customers before...

2014 I believe the figure was then half a billion. This is an extention of that I believe.

Apparently this hack took place in 2013!!

"The latest incident to emerge – which happened in 2013 – is probably distinct from the breach of 500m user accounts in 2014"

Yep, yahoo probably single handedly responsible for 50% of the identity fraud Worldwide!
