[tech, newmedia] Interesting security breach alert
This just in from Yahoo. (Oh, hey, I forgot I had a yahoo account. I think I haven't logged in for 10 years.)
NOTICE OF DATA BREACH
Dear [Siderea],
We are writing to inform you about a data security issue that may
involve your Yahoo account information.
What Happened?
A recent investigation by Yahoo has confirmed that a copy of certain
user account information was stolen from our systems in late 2014 by
what we believe is a state-sponsored actor. We are closely coordinating
with law enforcement on this matter and working diligently to protect
you.
I don't think I've ever been officially notified before that my data has been stolen by a suspected "state-sponsored actor".
