Oops, It Happened Again on Yahoo!

Yahoo has announced that "more than one billion user accounts" may have been stolen by hackers during an attack that took place in August 2013, according to a press release.
"The company has not been able to identify the intrusion associated with this theft," Yahoo says, but that "the company has connected some of this activity to the same state-sponsored actor believed to be responsible for the data theft the company disclosed on September 22, 2016."
This is a separate hack from the one Yahoo announced back in on 9/23/16, in which as many as 500 million user accounts were compromised.
With a billion accounts at risk, that would make this the biggest breach of all time - bigger than the Myspace breach of 360 million user accounts and 427 million passwords. The breach could also have implications for the $4.8 billion sale of Yahoo to Verizon.
