Breitbart: Yahoo will pay $50 million in damages and offer two years of free credit-monitoring services to 200 million users whose email addresses and other personal information were stolen as part of the biggest Internet security breach in history, which affected up to three billion accounts worldwide.

YaaaHooooo!
I want Credit / ID Protection for life.
2 years is a joke I will always have the same ID info once it reaches the Internet the threat of compromise lives forever.
Shouldn’t they be required to fix what they broke and remain quiet about for months? Like protection for those that were and maybe compromised for as long as they live?
First time yahoo went out of control was when some congressdouche’s douchey son broke into Palin’s yahoo account. Right after that, yahoo was getting hit left and right with data breeches. Maybe yahoo shouldn’t be in the bidness anymore.
