The largest hack in history just got three times worse for Yahoo.

"Following an investigation with the assistance of outside forensic experts, [we believe] that all Yahoo user accounts were affected by the August 2013 theft," Suzanne Philion, an Oath spokeswoman, said in a statement Tuesday.

The records of more than one billion Yahoo users, secretly stolen from the site in 2013 but only brought to the world’s attention this month, have reportedly been sold on the computer underground.

InfoArmor’s Andrew Komarov told the New York Times that his firm has uncovered that the valuable data has been sold to three buyers – “two known spammers and an entity that appeared more interested in espionage”, the paper reports – for about US $300,000 each.

That means, if you are an affected Yahoo user, that personal information (including your backup email addresses, security questions & answers, and – potentially – passwords) are in the hands of criminals.

Yahoo has disclosed that more than one billion accounts may have been stolen from the company's systems in another cyberattack.

The company said in a statement Wednesday after the markets closed that unnamed attackers stole the accounts in August 2013, a little over a year prior to a previously disclosed attack in September, in which attackers stole around 500 million accounts in 2014.

But the company said it wasn't able to identify the intrusion associated with August breach.

The statement said that the hackers may have stolen names, email addresses, telephone numbers, hashed passwords (using the weak, easy to crack MD5 algorithm) dates of birth, and in some cases encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers.

Yahoo said it has invalidated unencrypted security questions and answers so that they cannot be used to access affected accounts.

But payment card data and bank account information, stored in separate systems, are not thought to have been stolen in the attack.
