Yahoo have announced that a massive 500 million users accounts were “stolen” in what is being called the biggest cyber crime in history.
The user-account information may have included names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, hashed passwords and in some cases encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers, according to Yahoo. The data was stolen from the company’s network in late 2014, Yahoo said. It didn’t identify the country it believed was behind the attack.
