Yahoo has now reported every single account was affected by a data breach in 2013:

In 2016, Yahoo disclosed that more than one billion of about three billion accounts had likely been affected by the hack. In its disclosure Tuesday, the company said all accounts were likely victimized.

Yahoo included the finding in a recent update to its Account Security Update page, saying that it found out about the wider breach through new intelligence obtained during the company's integration into Verizon Communications. Outside forensic experts assisted in the discovery, the company said.

    They did not teach them anything about privacy, so I can believe that they added a few words to their policy saying that any compliants go to arbitration in the event every single account was stolen repeatedly time and again and they are not at fault so too bad.

    Isn't that what their security is about, financial security? It used to be security issues like this would be considered bad, but this just seems to be a PR issue.
