@ 2016/09/30Troubled search engine outfit Yahoo is getting itself deeper and deeper into hot water over the hacking scandal.
For those who came in late, Yahoo suffered a major hack which effected 500 million users, however for some reason it forgot to tell people about it for years.
The outfit’s latest trick is to claim that its massive data breach on a “state-sponsored actor” however it has not explained how it arrived at that conclusion. Nor has it provided any evidence.
Security analysts think that Yahoo is not telling the full truth about the hack.. The company has protocols in place that can detect state-sponsored hacking into user accounts. In a December 2015 blog post, the company outlined its policy, saying it will warn users when this is suspected.
