  • Remember Yahoo had a breach back in 2013?  You may have thought your account was safe...  well, it wasn't.  It's been discovered that every single Yahoo account at the time was hacked.  http://money.cnn.com/2017/10/03/technology/business/yahoo-breach-3-billion-accounts/index.html?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_search_srp_content%3B0O%2BnM%2BWBQrKMzuHfq2jgDw%3D%3D

  • I believe the lawsuit against the Yahoo mail data breach recently failed.  Oath, the new name Verizon gave to the shell company over Yahoo and AOL has put up a new user agreement telling you that they are scanning your emails for direct targeted advertising and other data analysis. There appears to be no opt out options.
