YEa it is surprising to see a Big site like Yahoo not hashing user passwords.

Although i have no idea maybe it wasn't feasible because of some reason.

It's unfortunate and Yahoo is to be blamed to a certain extent nonetheless.

Hacked by a SQL Injection, really???????????????????
Not only did they not encrypt cleartext but they also had to write dumb front end code!!

 

[pratyush997]

Cool i forgot my pass as well as security question.... So wherezzz pass

 

[Allu Azad]

You can get it easily if you search for it .

The entire collection just weighs 17.1mb .

Anyways all should change their yahoo password immediately whether they are affected or not .

God bless GMail

@Alluazad yahoo....

I am pretty sure that many Creepy users out there are going to take privillege of the available passwords and user accounts.
Many of the users might even have link to paypal,net banking , and similiar secure financial details.

It will not only create havoc for yahoo but also for Facebook , Twitter, etc sites that have account linked with Yahoo.

Its really disheartening to see that Yahoo hasn't encrypted the Password. Whatta shame.!! And the open space for SQL injection ....Waw.!!! Did anybody knew about these two earlier before this happened????

Fortunately, I switched to Gmail years ago because of yahoo's pathetic spam filter.

Thanks @ Allu Azad and @The Sorcerer, for the links to check the Yahoo! e-mail account.
By GOD's grace,my Yahoo! e-mail account as checked in & by Sucuri Malware Labs :->

Good: Email ******@yahoo.in not found in leak.

I primarily use "Gmail" as my e-mail account.

 

[Hrishi]

Hey that list contains Email address of other Domains too like msn,google,etc.
Yahoo Voices database has been leaked as per the news.
So if you haven't ever posted in yahoo Voices , then don't worry. But unfortunately if you did , you know what to do.

 

[Allu Azad]

I think Yahoo! didn't even officially mention this incident .
They should have alerted its users.
