If you’re a member of the photo sharing service Flickr, you might want to change your password as soon as possible. Yahoo, which owns Flickr, has reportedly suffered a major hack.

Recode reports that Yahoo is preparing this week to confirm a massive data breach — a hack that may have exposed several hundred million user accounts. The “widespread” and “serious” intrusion is likely to lead to government investigations and legal action.

They'll be sued back to the Stone Age where they belong.

8 million UK users? Surely a lot of those must be dormant?
The most worrying is the unencrypted security questions. Given that a lot of sites still use sensitive questions like mother's maiden name etc, this could be an issue
