Last week, Yahoo continued to notify its users that their accounts may have been compromised ranging from 2015 - 2016. After investigation, Yahoo has linked the attacks to what they call "forged cookies" which allows the attackers to access user accounts without re-entering any passwords. Because of the data breach, Verizon will look to purchase Yahoo's websites, email , and mobile services at a discount to give themselves financial wiggle room in case any lawsuits come down because of the hack. I haven't used my Yahoo email in years, but I did receive an email because of the hack. With so many other services from Google, Microsoft, and Apple I feel that Yahoo is past its prime. Because of this, I wonder why Verizon would still want to purchase Yahoo. What is their motivation even after this catastrophic breach?
