According to the Federal grand jury indictment, Russian FSB facilitated the Yahoo breach and then used the information gleaned to target various people and organizations both in Russia and around the world.

It will be interesting to see if the Feds can prove the Russian FSB connection to the cyber criminal activity.

A few days before the election, after entering my username and password, the yahoo mail site would just go into a loop and never open or do anything. I tried their on line fixes as there is no customer service to call for help. After about 2 months I started a new email with a local co-op, with local service.

I did get an automated message from Yahoo regarding a non-secure way to access the email account. I did go there to try to get my contact list and that was totally gone as well as most older messages that had been in my inbox. Never a word from Yahoo Mail. If you go to www.downdetector.com, they monitor different websites with issues and people can leave comments. Yahoo Mail (free) and Yahoo Business Mail (paid sub) are and have been having a real mess, all without customer support.

Yahoo Mail is having ongoing issues.
