Yahoo hack was the Russians, claims Mayer
 

Says sorry for security lapse

At least one of the attacks carried out on Yahoo was the work of Russian spooks, according to former Yahoo Chief Executive Marissa Mayer.

Mayer apologised for two massive data breaches at the internet company, blaming Russian agents for at least one of them.

Speaking at a Senate hearing on the growing number of cyber attacks on major U.S. companies, Mayer said sorry for the hacks which were committed on her watch.

“Unfortunately, while all our measures helped Yahoo successfully defend against the barrage of attacks by both private and state-sponsored hackers, Russian agents intruded on our systems and stole our users’ data,” she said.
