The name is ‘Peace‘ but it is a hackers name and it has already caused Yahoo a lot of severe headache, timely before the Verizon $4.8 billion deal. A hacking attempt has exposed and leaked millions of users data at Yahoo, say the sources close to the company. Yahoo is expected to issue a statement and confirm the hacking attempt.
But the sources are unable to specify to which magnitude this has affected. There will be most likely Government involvement for investigations, perhaps a legal action on cards as well.
The announcement could have an impact on Yahoo $4.8 billion deal with Verizon. This could lead to the adjustment in the transaction.
This happened back in August when a hacker named moniker ‘Peace‘ accepted that he willingly sold the personal information regarding 200 million Yahoo account holders.
The news is trending and is put by recode at http://www.recode.net/2016/9/22/13012836/yahoo-is-expected-to-confirm-massive-data-breach-impacting-hundreds-of-millions-of-users
Anyhow, do not wait for Yahoo’s announcement. Just change your password right now.
