I am switching all my accounts to gmail and leave Yahoo

in #security8 years ago

And you should do the same if you care about security.

That's the second time in less that 6 months when I received a security warning so it's time to move on.
Thank you Yahoo for 18 years of relationship.

Good to see someone taking action. Check out some other, more secure alternatives: Protonmail, Tutanota, or Scryptmail are all good choices if you value online security/privacy.

Could you go into more detail about this? This sounds scary!

The latest issue with Yahoo was a breach that affected over 1 BILLON users. You can read about it here: http://www.cnbc.com/2016/12/14/yahoo-says-new-hack-affected-1-billion-users-separate-from-earlier-attack.html This came after another breach back in September, 2016 that affected 500 million users. Any provider that stores your messages encrypted will help counter this type of threat. See my other comment here for other providers to consider.
