The attack compromised the real names, email addresses, dates of birth and telephone numbers of 500 million users. The company said the "vast majority" of the passwords involved had been hashed using the robust bcrypt algorithm.</div><div style="margin-bottom:16px;max-width:620px;" id="yiv5945323466yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1517316978573_16078">A couple of months later, in December, it buried that earlier record with the disclosure that a breach in 2013, by a different group of hackers had compromised 1 billion accounts.

In October of 2017, Yahoo revised that estimate, saying that, in fact, all <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-yahoo-cyber/yahoo-says-all-three-billion-accounts-hacked-in-2013-data-theft-idUSKCN1C82O1" style="color:rgb(0, 174, 239);" id="yiv5945323466yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1517316978573_16079">3 billion user accounts</a> had been compromised.</div><div style="margin-bottom:16px;max-width:620px;" id="yiv5945323466yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1517316978573_16081">The breaches knocked an estimated $350 million off Yahoo’s sale price. Verizon eventually paid $4.48 billion for Yahoo’s core Internet business. The agreement called for the two companies to share regulatory and legal liabilities from the breaches.
