Yahoo Mail hacked(?)

1 points by B-Con 13y ago ↗ HN

It would seem that many Yahoo! Mail accounts have been compromised en masse this evening. I saw a couple of friends' get hacked myself, and read other people report more of same.

Anyone have any details? Was this a server side breach? Currently the news and Twitter are relatively silent about it.

Where did you see this? Personal experience ?

I think it is a windows virus going around and yahoo webmail is just a symptom:

Any non-windows users affected?
