Didn't it happen a while ago as well with Yahoo? I changed my password for my dormant account in September for some kinda security breach. I don't know why I have a Yahoo account anyway, can't remember.

Hmm, we've noticed some unusual activity with your account, please answer you secret question. I don't remember that, yet I could recover the account. Nothing there since the last password change, not even spam, just a security breach alert mail and xbox one advertisement. I still don't know why I have that account. It might be from my isp, there's literally nothing in it apart from welcome and sign in messages.

I'll stick with outlook as my main email provider. Although if that gets hacked, I'm fucked.

Yes a few months ago it was announced that 500 million yahoo accounts were hacked sometime in 2014. The breach disclosed yesterday happened in 2013 and 1 billion accounts were hacked.

It happened 3 years ago?! Changed my password just in time....
