Glad i dont use them. Not glad wife does.
Are the Verizon execs jumping from the 45th floor yet?
Why would you give all that info to Yahoo or Google? Or Apple?
That’s why I don’t use these “e-wallet” programs and apps.
Glad i dont use them. Not glad wife does.
500 million ,they’ll never find your wife
So, I want to know how many subscribers they have. Maybe...500 million?
The Guardian is reporting this was a “state sponsored” hack. Translation either Russia or China.
Not Mine.
Must be for the global registration drive.
Users will flee Yahoo! like a ............
I suggest a class action predicated on negligence. ( or did the republicrats pass a law against paying our damages?)
Why would you give all that info to Yahoo or Google? Or Apple?
What email service do you use that you gave same data to?
Maybe the hackers could tell me what my password is. I forgot it ages afo
I’m sure things will get much better when Obama gives up control of the internet. /s
These security breaches are getting outrageous.

But, the article claims that some people have.

But, my date of birth is fake, and answers to any security question on any site are random fake answers, I only use unique passwords, ie each site has different password - no duplicates, no telephone numbers - so I have done what I can to protect myself, I hope.
