In what has been an event of hacking 453,000 users’ data from Yahoo Voices, the company is investigating into this matter of data breach.
A group called D33Ds Co has been recognized in posting the stolen data on its Website which the hackers believe is a wake up call for Yahoo to ponder about its loopholes in the system. An industry expert has criticized the online search engine for not combating what has been a very common kind of database attack.
Some users who used either their Gmail or AOL accounts to register for the Voices, their information was not compromised. The affected company is trying to recover the users’ information.
This is where it gets ugly to share your sensitive and private information online. Hackers in order to teach lessons to organizations, as in this case, always happen to send a wave of tension among Internet users. At the end of the day, Internet users face the hardest part of this battle whereas both cyberattackers and tech companies simply walk away by giving nice presentation on the media.
