Re: Flimsy Argument
It would seem that users should have some sort of recourse for this breach. It's controversial to withhold this information from a userbase, and we'll probably learn a lot more facts about this incident via legal proceedings.

@afwriter yes, that's the way companies usually go in such cases.

Re: Flimsy Argument
I was wondering that same thing, seems like a bad idea for any company to take on potential litigation. Then again, Verizon has money and I am sure they will settle quickly.

Re: Flimsy Argument
It sounds like they knew there was the potential risk they'd be on the hook for this at least.

What Yahoo has to Face
I don't understand because I have a Yahoo mail account and I also use it top search on Yahoo. So with them going through this I don't know if it is because of an outdatede browser and others are better like google etc. Hopefully this will be resolved for them as a company.

Flimsy Argument
"In court papers, Yahoo had argued that the breaches were “a triumph of criminal persistence” by a “veritable ’who’s who’ of cybercriminals,” and that no security system is hack-proof." It seems like Yahoo tried using the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ argument and the judge just wasn't having it. I'm not surprised - I'd think as a publicly traded company, Yahoo had an obligation to its stockholders to have controls in place for security that also would have included an escalation/user communication procedure if a breach occurred. They really didn't seem to demonstrate a concern for their users by waiting so long to tell them what happened.
