Verizon: 2013 Yahoo Data Breach Hit All 3 Billion Users

Do you have a Yahoo email account? If so, you’ve been hacked.

Verizon, who purchased Yahoo in a $4.5 billion deal that closed in June, said a 2103 data breach affected all of its three billion accounts.

The breach was originally revealed last December when Yahoo said about one billion accounts were affected.

The stolen information includes: 

  • Names
  • Email addresses 
  • Phone numbers 
  • Birth dates 
  • Security questions with their answers

Verizon said passwords in clear text, payment card data and bank information were not among the information stolen.
