Yahoo has confirmed that user names and passwords for Yahoo Mail have been stolen in a recent “Hack” by cyber criminals (30th Jan 2014).
This relates to both the U.S and Australian based users, i.e. email addresses ending in both .com and .com.au.
They have advised that clients change their password for their yahoo mail account as soon as possible.
As always the Stay Smart Online website has further information as well as tips for improving your security and the full alert for the Yahoo email breach can be found on their website using this link.
We highly recommend that you take a few moments to read the full article. Even if you are not a Yahoo mail user the tips are still very helpful.
