The thing is this breach happened in 2013 but Fox news doesn't mention that here, just links it to having happened a time before another breach, why not just come out and say when this hack happened I guess it would be less newsworthy if it was something that seemed like it was currently happening.

I find it very strange that Verizon was going to buy the company without knowing about this breach which happened 3 years ago.

Also fucking lol when they talk about hacking they go for inverted colours on the video of someone typing, my sides are in space.

Maybe. I just chose their report because it was brief and simple. For the people that are interested but that wouldn't want to loose much time.

Oh yeah sorry I wasn't criticising you for posting a Fox News link here, I'm sure many people will get the information which is important from this clip and the thread you made, sorry if it came accross that I was knocking the thread you made mate, stuff like this is vital to know just in case someone still had an old yahoo account long forgotten but which was used as the recovery email for their current main account so then it could be used to request a password reset for peoples current email accounts.

I just meant that fox in that clip were trying to splice in some CSI graphics into what their users would think Hacking looks like... if only it was like this in real life.. you could find hackers by their shopping habbits for always buying inverted looking paint colours for their walls :D
