Yahoo passwords compromised

2012-07-13 by voranado

If you did not see the article in this mornings papers, over 400,000 Yahoo passwords have been stolen by hackers (NYT business section).  While I have no idea if anyone in this group is vulnerable, it might make sense to change your password.

Regards,

Steve

the passwords stolen were from the Yahoo Contributor Network .. which is
not the same thing as regular users
