Yahoo Admits Another Billion Accounts Hacked, Possibly By "State-Sponsored Actor"
Having admitted in September to 200 million accounts hacked, and then confessed it was half a billion in October, Yahoo has just come out with statement confirming that an unauthorized third party, in August 2013, stole data associated with more than one billion user accounts, and this is likely distinct from the incident they previously disclosed. They do still say that "we have connected some of this activity to the same state-sponsored actor believed to be responsible for the previousdata theft."
