Marissa Mayer declined to reset Yahoo users’ passwords 2 years ago
On Tuesday, US senators sent a letter to Marissa Mayer, asking the Yahoo CEO for details on the recently discovered breach of at least half a billion accounts.
Some of the questions from that letter: How did such a large-scale breach go unnoticed for 2 years? What’s Yahoo doing to prevent future breaches? Has Yahoo changed its security protocols? If so, how?
Perhaps a better question would have been: What hasn’t Yahoo done to build a secure environment? As the New York Times reported on Wednesday, when it comes to security, you reap what you sow, but Yahoo hasn’t sprinkled many seeds over the years.
