Yahoo being investigated for handling of data breaches
 

The troubled search engine outfit Yahoo is being investigated by Inspector Knacker of the US yard and financial regulators over its handling of two huge data breaches.

Yahoo was hacked in 2014 and huge amounts of personal data was stolen. Yahoo, which was a little concerned about more publicity failed to make the news public.

Now the FBI is looking into whether Yahoo’s two massive data breaches should have been reported sooner to investors. If Yahoo faces any fall-out from the case then it could be a major test in defining when a company is required to disclose a hack.
