Yahoo continues to allow NSA to spy on Americans |
Yahoo was contacted immediately and the accounts affected were repeatedly requested to be closed over a 24 hour period with no response.
Yahoo users are urged to CHANGE PASSWORDS IMMEDIATELY. Do not accept any communications from supposed Yahoo administrators without verification.
It is now quite apparent who Yahoo works for and with. They are clearly under the auspices of the NSA and continue to allow U.S. government free and total access to user accounts.
It goes without saying that Yahoo is a rogue company, traitors to America and Americans.
A class action suit by the millions of Yahoo users who have had their accounts hacked and spied upon by the NSA and other "OGA" should be immediately initiated and pursued.
The 5th Estate urges all Yahoo users to BOYCOTT ALL MONETARY TRANSACTIONS with Yahoo and their affiliates, advertisers and business partners.
The 5th Estate now believes that the bogus "data breach" story was initiated by Yahoo in order to cover for their eventual exposure in allowing the NSA and Obama government stooges to illegally access yahoo user accounts, thereby being able to claim that it was a result of an external hacking.

In a blog post on the company’s site, Yahoo! said "the information sought in the attack seems to be names and email addresses from the
Yahoo! said it recently discovered the breach, and suspects that malware was employed to take the user information from an undisclosed third party database.
"We have no evidence that they were obtained directly from Yahoo!'s systems," wrote Jay Rossiter, the senior vice president in charge of Yahoo!’s platforms and personalization products.
Apart from seeking out and ultimately prosecuting those responsible for the attack, Rossiter said Yahoo! had “implemented additional measures to block attacks against Yahoo!’s systems.”
The company also reset the passwords of those affected, and sent out text messages to them so that they could “re-secure their accounts.”
Yahoo! is reportedly the second-largest worldwide email service, after Google's Gmail, making it a likely target for hackers and online scammers.
The firm recognized this threat, acknowledging “security attacks are unfortunately becoming a more regular occurrence.”
"It's an old trend, but it's much more exaggerated now because the programs the bad guys use are much more sophisticated now," Avivah Litan, a security analyst at the technology research firm Gartner, told AP. "We're clearly under attack."
Analysts said that access to email accounts is part and parcel of more serious breaches which target online banking and shopping. Security experts have warned users against using one password across multiple sites, although this does not account for the problem of email accounts being used to reset passwords.
For example, hackers could attempt to log into a user’s bank account and ask for a password reminder to be sent by email.
Collecting as much information about an individual as possible also facilitates identity theft.
In December, a hardware outage in one of Yahoo!’s storage systems left around 1 million users without access to their email accounts.
