One day, probably not in our lifetimes, someone's going to compile everything that's been posted on the internet and make a huge archive of everything everyone's ever done online just because they can and when they do it's going to be OK just becuase it's all history by then. Everyone's going to have embarresing and possibly incriminating pictures and messages they sent made public on Ancestry on steroids from the future.

Just think about that.

in $_CURRENT_YEAR it's essentially the same, there are dozens of terabytes worth of rainbow tables available.

And if you're targeting an individual with a special snowflake password, you can still probably crack it. I doubt Yahoo historically used anything better than MD5.

Fucking hell, I used to feel bad for yahoo but they are just so careless with data. I am pretty sure this is why my yahoo email was compromised, my old facebook linked to it was also compromised and used to spam and they even made a twitter account for spamming. I am glad I switched to gmail because I had 10000 unread emails in yahoo years ago

who even has a yahoo account though? I know its relatively big in Japan but I thought it didn't really have market share anywhere.

t. little shit.
Yahoo was huge 10 years ago, and it still has a very significant chunk of the email userbase.
You not knowing it doesn't make it go away.

She sucks at her job but to be fair this vulnerability goes back a fucking decade. Clearly someone in charge was ignoring the demands by their engineers to update their encryption because they didn't know shit about encryption. Which is inexcusable when you work FOR A FUCKING TECH COMPANY

Her main fault is not disclosing the hack back when they knew it in 2013. Her and everyone else that fucking knew.

Its literally too much information to adequately process. It would take thousands of people just to understand the data after organizing it.

Only large AI systems or governments could do it and their footprint would be so large it would be obvious. Corporations wouldn't bother because of the ramifications and associated costs.
