YahooXtra email accounts compromised following security breach

Posted on January 27, 2014 by Dissent

ANI reports:

Some of the user accounts of Telecom’s YahooXtra have been reportedly compromised, following a security breach, which is apparently affecting non-Telecom customers as well.

Telecom said that Yahoo had acknowledged an email security breach that compromised some YahooXtra email accounts.

According to a website, spokeswoman Lucy Fullarton said that Yahoo was investigating the breach and it was unclear if the hackers were able to read the content of the emails.
