The Watch Playboy Wet & Wild 4 (1992)Yahoo breach could have affected more accounts than previously reported.

Yahoo confirmed last week that data from at least 500 million user accounts had been stolen in the company's network from late 2014.

The hack could be much larger than Yahoo has said due to how the company stores information on and authenticates users. All of Yahoo's products were affected by the breach and are tied to one user database, the unnamed source said.

It is important to note that Business Insideronly cited one former executive, and it is unclear his or her motivations.
