They Hacked Every Yahoo Account

Description With Disclaimer In August 2013, hackers stole information connected to every Yahoo account in existence—approximately three billion accounts. But the public would not learn about the breach until years later. In this deeply researched documentary, Mysterious Crime investigates the largest Yahoo data breach, the separate 2014 attack linked by United States prosecutors to Russian FSB officers and criminal hackers, the forged authentication cookies that allowed access without passwords, the federal investigation, the delayed public disclosures and the consequences for Yahoo, Verizon and billions of account holders. Why did Yahoo initially report that one billion accounts were affected? How did that number later grow to three billion? Who carried out the unresolved 2013 attack? And how much of the stolen information could still exist today? This documentary examines official Yahoo security notices, United States Department of Justice records, Securities and Exchange Commission findings, congressional testimony, court documents and credible journalism to separate confirmed facts from theories.
