Fugg :dddd

>there WILL be a day when ALL google's search history data will be leaked.

I don't even want to think about it.

Useless, without the corresponding IPs and ISP subscriber info.

>implying it isn't already
shit is tagged with the emails at the time of use, and logins to other sites from the same computer
retards who didn't even finish highschool have access to this shit.

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

One day, probably not in our lifetimes, someone's going to compile everything that's been posted on the internet and make a huge archive of everything everyone's ever done online just because they can and when they do it's going to be OK just becuase it's all history by then. Everyone's going to have embarresing and possibly incriminating pictures and messages they sent made public on Ancestry on steroids from the future.

Just think about that.

where's the dump?

if I ever have kids they're going to be so ashamed when they see what I did with my youth.

>One day, all the stupid shit you posted on Sup Forums when you were new to the site will be leaked.

Yahoo was like the 2nd most visited website in the world when she got the job. They're 6th now.

>women

there's probably someone right now who's secretly making an archive of all of Snapchat through a hidden backport and are gonna leak it all in like 15 years to screw up someo political campaign or create a celebrity scandal for money or something like that.

>passwords
So like actual passwords or password hashes?

Funny, for the past year I've been getting notifications sent to a Yahoo email account I no longer use saying that someone from China has been trying to access another Yahoo email account that I lost years ago to Chinese gold farmers.

Phew good thing I don't post any stupid shit

Everything gets hacked. I don't even care anymore.

in $_CURRENT_YEAR it's essentially the same, there are dozens of terabytes worth of rainbow tables available.

And if you're targeting an individual with a special snowflake password, you can still probably crack it. I doubt Yahoo historically used anything better than MD5.

How are they so fucking incompetent? They should get fined heavily for this.

>leak occurs
>get fined
>less personnel
>less security
>get hacked again
>go bankrupt
>your data is sold

We lose anyway.

...

md5 holy fuck lol. How can a company be so fucking useless?

Well when the user base of your website has no idea how babby is formed, your employees are bound to not want to stick around.

One billion troops

I'm honestly surprised that they're still in the top ten tbqh

Absolutely no one outside of Japan even uses Yahoo anymore.

>WomenInComputing

EXTREEEEMEE

From Yahoo! to Literally Who?

that was quite good. 8/10

Males couldn't do magic either.

Will this finally kill Yahoo? Will anything?

>giving an email provider your phone number
>giving an email provider your real name
>giving an email provider anything at all
>reusing passwords

...Oh BTW it happened 4 yeas ago.

Fucking Yahoo...

>MD5

Holy shit you can blow through thousands of these a minute with a single Kepler card and Hashcat.

>thousands

Hundreads of thousands if not millions with a fucking Intel iGPU.

MD5 = Shit

>2013
>1 billion rows
>MD5

So crazy that's a lot of fucking accounts.

>This new, 1-billion-account breach is separate from a 500-million-account breach the company disclosed in September. At the time, the 500-million-account breach was believed to be the largest on record. Yahoo shares fell 2% after hours.

Will their shares fall 4% now?

why is yahoo still a thing and how the fuck do they have 1 billion accounts?

>double accounts = double share drop
No you idiot. It's exponential. If you double the accounts then you square the share drop percentage.

teh yahoo is for fugggg :DDDD
the yahoo is for penetrate :D

Accounts built up over the many years of their life span, some forgotten and left there to collect dust and limit naming options.

Yeah, I lost all my stupid shit in a tragic boating accident.

>not knowing about based Lisa who singlehandedly saved AMD

Holy shit my gaiaonline password is the same as my yahoo email address! How screwed am I?

In which reality did Yahoo ever have one billion users?

Certainly not ours?

so what's the proper way to permanently wipe clean my yahoomail account?

anyone have the dump yet?

>why can't i hold all these hacked accounts
Obviously we need more female CEOs in tech.

Good thing I only used yahoo email for fake shit, registering burner usernames, shitposting and spam.

Why not use 10minutemail?

Forgot to say about 6 years ago

>2016
>MD5

>tfw was at yahoo last week interviewing for job
Guess this is a bad time to get on this ship.

NSA

>they offer you a position
>meet with them
>show them print of news story
>tell them "i can't work at a company that doesn't take user privacy seriously"
>secretly record entire meeting
>post to Sup Forums
>???
>PROFIT!

Nothing but a pretty face.

Hmmm....

I bet it isn't the only breach they're holding back on announcing.

Considering a pastebin with a list of accounts including one of my old accounts was posted over month ago, I think you're right.

>you will never get to grep this glorious database

check your flickr bookmarks mah niggas

shit is about to disappear if this keeps on going

>using flickr

>not using flickr

>mfw Verizon actually wanted to buy this

it's md5 and no salt.

Would Marissa let me fuck her if I can fix Yahoo!?

>Yahoo said names, phone numbers, passwords and email addresses were stolen, but not bank and payment data.
> names, phone numbers, passwords and email addresses were stolen

JUST

>not having your own website and uploading images there

It was in 2013, they apparently updated to bcrypt not long after.

I'd be much more worried about my post-newfag posts being leaked. I used to be a normie with normal tastes, now I'm a bigot and a weirdo.

>>Yahoo has said more than one billion user accounts may have been affected in a hacking attack dating back to 2013.
>>Yahoo said names, phone numbers, passwords and email addresses were stolen, but not bank and payment data.

Fucking hell, I used to feel bad for yahoo but they are just so careless with data. I am pretty sure this is why my yahoo email was compromised, my old facebook linked to it was also compromised and used to spam and they even made a twitter account for spamming. I am glad I switched to gmail because I had 10000 unread emails in yahoo years ago

who even has a yahoo account though? I know its relatively big in Japan but I thought it didn't really have market share anywhere.

ok so wheres the txt file of the passes

holdover accounts from the last decade? is yahoo japan even affected?

>I thought it didn't really have market share anywhere
t. little shit.
Yahoo was huge 10 years ago, and it still has a very significant chunk of the email userbase.
You not knowing it doesn't make it go away.

Google leak when?

all of which google has access to

as well as your name, browsing habits, personal details, etc.

that was a pretty stupid comment tbd

>b-but m-muh strong indypendynt wimmin
:^)

I think he meant a thusand cracked passwords per minute

>2013
>MD5
MD5 was suspected to be broken in 1993 and known to be broken in 1996.

I know, I was just pointing out user said they use md5 in 2016.
...hell, they probably do.

this. magnet link fucking where?

This is what happens when women is in charge

>government wants to store a metric fuckload of user data because ??????
>raise privacy concerns
>don't worry goy we know what we are doing
>wikileaks, all other instances of gov shit getting leaked
>yahoo can't even look after fucking email accounts

How does this not prove to people how dangerous it is to store all that fucking data?

>yahoo lost billions of dollars every year
>tfw yahoo will bring down verizon with it
Is yahoo the ultimate loser tech company?
google.com/search?safe=off&q=verizon revenue drops

>2 step verify
Ok?

DON'T FORGET THE "TEN GORILLION" HACKED ACCOUNTS!!!

i don't think it actually tries to verify, it just sends you an email or text when someone changes the shit...

youtube.com/watch?v=mcSujceZDmg
Is she having a laugh?!
Yahoo losing billions of user data, losing billion of $ every year. Yahoo= losing.

youtube.com/watch?v=yM6dio31vcA

Who uses their yahoo mail for important shit anyway?!

Oh like google?

er, no

google actually requires the verification either in the form of the email or through the mobile authenticator

i have 2 step auth on yahoo, and i have to get a text message with a code before it lets me sign on

She sucks at her job but to be fair this vulnerability goes back a fucking decade. Clearly someone in charge was ignoring the demands by their engineers to update their encryption because they didn't know shit about encryption. Which is inexcusable when you work FOR A FUCKING TECH COMPANY

Her main fault is not disclosing the hack back when they knew it in 2013. Her and everyone else that fucking knew.

what are the details on the md5 blunder?
is it salted or just plain md5?

plain

jesus christ

i used a long ass password in my yahoomail and i now have to check if it's hash is in the web. jesus christ.
