Russian hackers in late 2014 stole Yahoo’s “crown jewels”, hundreds of millions of usernames, emails, phone numbers, birthdays, passwords, and security questions. Last week, the company in its entirety agreed to pay $35 million in SEC fines for failing to disclose the breach for over two years, filing quarterly and annual reports with the commission without mentioning the data breaches.
Verizon acquired Yahoo in June 2017 and since renamed the firm Altaba Inc.
