If you use Yahoo Mail or car sex videoany of its services (Tumblr, Flickr, Fantasy Football), you need to act now.
The company confirmed on Thursday a massive data breach that affected at least 500 million user accounts.
According to a long investigation that left users unaware for years, leaked account information may include names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, hashed password, encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers. That means passwords may not have been leaked, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't change them.
Yahoo is expected to notify any potentially affected users, but anyone can follow these steps to better secure their accounts.
Yahoo has invalidated unencrypted security questions of those users it believes have been affected. Affected users will need to update their accounts, but anyone should go and change their password, especially if it hasn't been updated since 2014 when the breach occurred.
If you use the same or similar passwords and security questions on multiple services, those have potentially now been exposed. Take this as an opportunity to do what you should probably have already done -- go to those accounts and change those questions.
Take this data breach, and the many breaches that have come before it, as a lesson to use different passwords on the service you use.
Using the same password is easy. Keeping track of passwords can be difficult. You can eliminate that burden by using a password management system like LastPass, 1Password and Dashlane.
These password managers only require users to have one master password and then suggests, encrypts and stores passwords for other sites and services.
Two-step authentication or verification is one of the best and easiest ways to provide an additional level. By enabling this service, you can request to receive a text message or call to your phone that includes a string of numbers you need to enter before logging in.
For Yahoo accounts, you can find the instructions here. You should also do this for all your other accounts on everything you use, everything you ever will use, and probably anything your kids, relatives or even casual work acquintances use.
Yahoo offers its own service called Account Key that eliminates the need to remember a password. Instead, users receive a notification on their smartphone and can tap yes to sign in.
You can set up Account Key here.
The hack is over -- well, it was actually done back in 2014. But this also provides an opportunity to reconsider why you use Yahoo. There are plenty of other email clients like Gmail and Outlook. For photo storage, you can try 500px instead of Flickr.
