Is not it time to let Yahoo Inc. go the way of the dinosaur?
A rep damage that can never ever be undone.

And they missed all opportunities from the word go.

Yet there are still some like myself who still find Yahoo to be very useful. I rely on Yahoo everyday for almost everything.

The weakest link online often comes in the form of  human interference: https://aws.amazon.com/message/41926/
Amazon now will look for ways to faster restore s3-sub systems whenever there is trouble with the cloud.

A way to avoid a so-called fat finger disaster as happened at amazon's:

• Give in a particular command;
• Then do as we write it here and lift your fingers completely from the keyboard;
• Have a hard look at that command again;
• When at a second glance the command looks fine, ENTER.

This procedure has helped to prevent many a disaster, but it does not stop all tragedies ...

Bob, By the time the breach went public is was too late to do anything but take note and take extra security precautions.
         Also, since the breach(s) Yahoo has taken steps to secure users accounts. Don't forget Google has been breached
        in the past. I have had to change my Google password more than I have had to with Yahoo in the last 8 years. Google,
        like Yahoo, also had to change their culture. I know about Google's breach because Google has sent me several emails
        warning me about account breaches.

Yahoo was just hacked again.

If you are referring to the most recent article, it's about a breach that happened about a year ago before more strict encryption was in place.
Since Yahoo put harder encryption methods in place no new breach has been reported. I'm sticking with Yahoo.
BTW, I also have Google and MSN accounts.  I just prefer Yahoo (lots of services) except for my default search engine Google.
