<p><strong>Updated:</strong> <a href="https://yahoo.tumblr.com/post/150781911849/an-important-message-about-yahoo-user-security" target="_blank">Yahoo confirms.[/url]</p>

<p>We have confirmed that a copy of certain user account information was stolen from the company’s network in late 2014 by what it believes is a state-sponsored actor. The account information may have included names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, hashed passwords (the vast majority with bcrypt) and, in some cases, encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers.</p>

<p>If the new <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2016/09/21/yahoo-view-iphone-ipad-tv-shows-hulu-anime/" target="_blank">Yahoo View[/url] app tempted you to dust off your Yahoo account to give it a try, you might want to change your password while you’re at it. <a href="http://www.recode.net/2016/9/22/13012836/yahoo-is-expected-to-confirm-massive-data-breach-impacting-hundreds-of-millions-of-users" target="_blank">Re/code[/url] reports that the company is expected to confirm that a hack has exposed the account details of ‘several hundred million user accounts.’</p>
