Still very little info on the Yahoo breach (although lots of reports that it was an unencrypted password file).
In regard to the reports that this only affected a company Yahoo purchased, and subsequently named Yahoo Voice: I've obtained a copy of the password file. I've had at least three Yahoo accounts, two of them for over ten years. None of them are in the file. So, whatever it is, it isn't a general file of Yahoo accounts. ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] My son is not brilliant; he's not genius.
