After several years, Yahoo reports about\u00a0a huge data breach that affected more than 500 million Yahoo users. According to experts, this attack could be named the biggest data breach in history, leaving LinkedIn and MySpace attacks behind. The latest information reveals that hackers got the access to\u00a0users\u2019 names, dates of birth, telephone numbers, emails, passwords, and similar data. Fortunately,\u00a0Yahoo confirms that bank account information and payment data is\u00a0secure and hackers did not steal\u00a0it.<\/p>\n
The company\u00a0claims that it\u00a0has already\u00a0warned all\u00a0potential victims and informed them about this security issue. The company also advises users not to reveal any personal information or click on any links or attachments after receiving\u00a0a suspicious email. Next, you should\u00a0change the password, especially if you are one of those, who has been using the same password since 2014. Make sure you opt for\u00a0alternative verification methods this time to keep your account secure. According to the company, people should consider using Yahoo Account Key which allows accessing the account after confirming login via phone.<\/p>\n
After\u00a0this\u00a0hack, eSolutions wants to remind users to think about an advanced\u00a0protection of their private information online. You should always create strong passwords that include small and capital letters, numbers and symbols (if allowed). Moreover, do not use common and the most popular passwords, such as \u201cpassword,\u201d \u201cqwerty,\u201d \u201c123456\u201d, etc. Security specialists suggest making a strange but memorable sentence and taking first letters from each of words \u2013 that\u2019s how you can create a strong and unique password. If you are not a\u00a0creative person, you can look up for reliable password generators online. Also, do not use the same password for all your accounts. For better protection, we recommend using two-factor authentication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
