Yahoo has said data from more than one billion accounts may have been hacked.
But should you be worried - and what can you do to protect yourself in the future?
[...] Security expert and writer Brian Krebs said in a blog, "For years I have been urging friends and family to migrate off of Yahoo email, mainly because the company appeared to fall far behind its peers in blocking spam and other email-based attacks."
Yahoo has reassured its users: "We continuously enhance our safeguards and systems that detect and prevent unauthorised access to user account."
Some may not think of themselves as Yahoo users but the firm provides some BT and Sky customers' email accounts [in the UK].
