The hackers finding out your password from the hack is basically just a matter of time (and let's be honest, they've probably already cracked like 90% of the passwords by now), and the chances are that they'll try those passwords on other services as well. That's how people get hacked. I'm probably not affected. The chances are that they got my data as well, but I didn't have much on Yahoo, and long since I've switched to using a password manager to have a different password for every single service I use. |
I haven't changed my PW yet, and I know that I have the same PW for Yahoo as I have for other services, but I ask myself, what on earth would hackers do with my Youtube account or Gmail account or some forum accounts? I doubt they have any interest in wasting time on that.
