If you have, or had an account with Yahoo, chances are you're included. Probably too late now, but change your password.

Not the first time either......

Apparently this hack took place in 2013!!

"The latest incident to emerge – which happened in 2013 – is probably distinct from the breach of 500m user accounts in 2014"
