Internet : : 500 million Yahoo accounts hacked

Due to what is considered to be one of the biggest security breaches in history, all MorphOS users who happen to have a Yahoo account are advised to log in and change their passwords as soon as possible.

On a sidenote, MorphZone was altered to refuse Yahoo email addresses for new user registrations in 2014. This simple step helped to cut down the total amount of spam registrations by 90+ percent.

    While it's spammers and the usual internet dross who get Yahoo email account these days, what everyone out there is probably forgetting that a lot of internet ISPs use Yahoo Mail as their integral webmail. You may not even be aware of it. There are also a lot of integrated services that have Yahoo itself integrated into them, even if you didn't use it.

    So wipe that schadenfreude off your faces, people. You don't have to have signed up to Yahoo for your security details to be out there. In fact, they probably are. Change your passwords.
