> there is no such thing as insurance for this type of breach There is insurance. Some of the breached accounts likely contained credit card info, and any exploits are covered by existing insurance. Some of the accounts might contain embarrassing emails, but few people have insurance against hacked disclosure of that sort. Things like this happen because the public doesn't care. Most people who use Yahoo for email are computer illiterate and are more likely to do things that lead to a breach. They are also more likely to quit using the service if things like 2FA are required. So in a sense, the invisible hand delivered the service that was demanded, and now the market can correct. Some percentage of the users impacted will learn from the experience and demand higher quality email hosting in the future.
