BBC just reporting many ( millions) ? Yahoo accounts hacked and lots of data stolen.

In 2013 ! Very interesting. I think I heard about such incident in 1950 also?!

 

By the way: the number of hacked accounts differs from 500,000 to 1,000,000,000 !  :-)

German news source says "a billion" (1'000'000'000).

I haven't got any warning or the like so far (have two yahoo email accounts).

Don't expect one. Just change both passwords, and make them complex. Or use two-factor authentication.
