Yahoo fined $117.5 million for one of the largest data breaches in history
Yahoo, once a tech powerhouse, paid $117.5 million in 2019 to settle what Reuters then described as, “the largest data breach in history.” The breach reportedly exposed the email addresses and other personal information on around three billion accounts between 2013 and 2016. The settlement meanwhile reportedly covered as many as 194 million people in the U.S. and Israel.
