It's more that there's more then 1B accounts out there - remember that this isn't just "yahoo.com" that got affected, it's Yahoo, YMail, RocketMail, yahoo.co.jp

It's more that there's more then 1B accounts out there - remember that this isn't just "yahoo.com" that got affected, it's Yahoo, YMail, RocketMail, yahoo.co.jp (a HUGE community btw), and several others which all fall under the "Yahoo accounts" umbrella. Not every account was hacked by any means; terrifyingly, the number of accounts isn't nearly what you'd expect as a percentage of "Yahoo accounts".
- jsjohnst 10y agoYahoo! Japan is separate from Yahoo! "worldwide". They actually run separate parallel infrastructure for many things, so I highly doubt YJP was part of the one billion accounts.
- SomeCallMeTim 10y agoMakes me wonder what service or other sub-section of Yahoo actually got hacked, then. Doesn't seem to say in the article.
