It's being discussed because it's just been discovered. So change your password, and watch your email.

If only they'd taken the $44 billion offer by Microsoft in 2008.

Yahoo is for whatever odd reason still popular among many Japanese. Yahoo has had numerous breaches over the years, including one where an employee SOLD customer data to Yakuza.
Screw Yahoo...let them die out.

Yahoo Inc has very little to do with Yahoo Japan directly which Softbank owns as the majority shareholder. Yahoo Japan also uses Google as their search engine and all the servers are in Japan. http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2012/04/24/reference/yahoo-japan-same-name-very-different-company/#.V-VfUvl96Cg
