#2A spokesman for Oath, the new name of Verizon’s Yahoo unit, said the company determined last week that the break-in was much worse than thought, after it received new information from outside the company.
Can they claw back money from Yahoo shareholders because of this?

#3There never is a break-in where they get 1/3 or 1/2 of the accounts. It has to be nearly all or some much smaller faction. (my own presumption based on the idea nothing large does mere 2 to 3 way replication or partition)

#4> A massive data breach at Yahoo in 2013 was far more extensive than previously disclosed, affecting all of its 3 billion user accounts, new parent company Verizon Communications Inc. said on Tuesday.
Imagine the buyers remorse

#5To put this number in perspective, there are ~7.5 billion humans currently living on the earth.

#63 billion - we live in an age where half the population of the earth can exist on a service, and everyone is vulnerable.
Yes, a good chunk of these are probably duplicates for business / spam / anon accounts, but this is where the world is trending. How long is it until facebook or google have a massive breach?

#9On the bright side, the estimate is unlikely to triple again.

#10Just an ancillary comment but Yahoo has a whole bunch of password requirements. So much so that my passwords don't cut it and I can never remember my password. And/or I need to validate every new device. Is this all just for show? Its insult to injury that they force all these things and then they get broken into.
