That's right, although it may seem like it, Yahoo is not dead, nor was it partying. According to the latest official information released by the company, more than five hundred million accounts have been hacked. It seems that the movement of this malicious hacker has exposed a company that is not going through its best moment. On the other hand, this only serves to lower the sale price of it even more, since Yahoo! it is trying to be bought before it disappears completely. The company is going downhill and without brakes despite Marissa Mayer's attempts to re-float it, and this safety knock-on effect seems like the icing on the cake.
Been Recode who has rushed to leak that the company would end up confirming the hack it had suffered. The hacker, ironically called Peace has signed the authorship. The Yahoo! is working in conjunction with investigators from the Government of the United States of America, so we can assume that the information that the hacker has obtained could be considered sensitive. Although Apple does not allow it, many other internet services do use Yahoo! as a log-in system, which opens the doors to many more websites and much more information.
It was in August that all of this happened, however, Yahoo! did not take any security measures to its users, which calls into question the correct performance of the company. On the other hand, we can assume that this will negatively affect the possible sale of Yahoo! and its crash in the stock market. This is how the record hack in history is crowned, never before have so many user accounts been affected. This data will certainly not be sold by peso, but it will cost every byte in gold.
