This country’s hacking efforts have become too big to ignore

While hackers linked to China, North Korea and Russia have dominated headlines over the past year, similar groups in Iran have caused significant damage while drawing far less attention.

The company, now part of Verizon’s Oath, disclosed the information in a quiet update to its account security update page. “Based on an analysis of the information with the assistance of outside forensic experts, Yahoo has determined that all accounts that existed at the time of the August 2013 theft were likely affected,” Yahoo’s page reads. The new conclusion comes based on “recently obtained new intelligence,” according to a statement from the company. “While this is not a new security issue, Yahoo is sending email notifications to the additional affected user accounts.
