thought you survived the Yahoo hack with your information intact think again Yahoo revealed the information of all of its users was compromised in the massive hack back in 2013 Yahoo first estimated that 1 billion of its users had been affected by this hack when it first came to light three years after it actually happened in 2016 and even then it was already the largest hack in history and now let's add three billion of them that's more users than every person on Facebook Instagram and Twitter combined so if you have a yahoo account go change your password now according to Yahoo the company discovered this information with the help of forensic experts after it was bought by Verizon and they still haven't figured out who was behind the attack the good news the investigation also found that the account information that was stolen did not include passwords in clear-text payment card data or bank account information but that doesn't mean your other accounts aren't at risk so if you use your yahoo email and the same password for logins elsewhere change the passwords on all these accounts watch out for suspicious activity on your email and check the last logins from the settings or just delete your account altogether
