Possible one billion accounts hacked.

Separate to the 500 million that were breached in 2014.

Yahoo has said more than one billion user accounts may have been affected in a hacking attack dating back to 2013.
The internet giant said the hack appears separate from a breach disclosed in September, when some 500 million accounts were accessed in 2014.
Yahoo said names, phone numbers, passwords and email addresses were stolen, but not bank and payment data.
The company, which is being taken over by Verizon, said it is working closely with the police and authorities.

I'm hedging that security at yahoo entails passwords set to 'guest'.

Probably not for much longer.

I used it for Fantasy Baseball and Football leagues.

Other than that, no. No one uses Yahoo.
