This company needs to just go away. It continues to surprise no one with the endless bad news.

Yahoo said on Thursday information associated with at least 500 million user accounts was stolen from its network in 2014 by what it believed was a “state-sponsored actor.”

The data stolen may have included names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, and hashed passwords but may not have included unprotected passwords, payment card data, or bank account information, the company said.
