"Yahoo" breach

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rmslade () shaw ca>]

Still very little info on the Yahoo breach (although lots of reports that it was an 
unencrypted password file).

In regard to the reports that this only affected a company Yahoo purchased, and 
subsequently named Yahoo Voice:

I've obtained a copy of the password file.  I've had at least three Yahoo accounts, 
two of them for over ten years.  None of them are in the file.  So, whatever it is, 
it isn't a general file of Yahoo accounts.

My son is not brilliant; he's not genius. Anyone that has any
computer knowledge could have done what Jeff did. It doesn't take
a level of genius to do this.
