In September 2016, Yahoo revealed a hack that compromised 500 million user accounts. In December, the company revealed yet another hack, this time affecting a record 1 billion accounts. On Tuesday, Yahoo updated that number to all 3 billion accounts its services.

And yes, that includes yours.

The hack exposed names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, encrypted passwords and unencrypted security questions. Here's what you can do now to protect yourself.

Luckily I'm not ridiculous enough to have a Yahoo account.

Very hokey title, by the way.

I still have a few from back when Yahoo was relevant, which I pretty much just have connected to some old websites, etc.

I have a yahoo email, but other than perhaps my date of birth no real vital information attached to it.

tbh, DOBs are a matter of public record but I still lie about it when I sign up for a service.

Is there some reason Yahoo specifically is susceptible to such hacking, or are we all in danger regardless of whether we use Yahoo?

This might sound obvious, but if you're like a lot of people, you might not use Yahoo Mail as your primary email account. Yahoo has 1 billion monthly active users on its services overall and just 225 million monthly active users for its Yahoo Mail service, according to figures the company gave CNET in June.

Ya, but what are those services? I mean, it's not like Java which it's used in everything you can imagine so a Java crack would end the world or something

It's the latter, They'll go after Gmail eventually.
