Comment on Yahoo, Bucking Industry, Scans Emails for Data to Sell Advertisers

Comments

So Verizon bought Yahoo a company where every single email account had been known to have been compromised[1], and now they are seeking to monetize those same accounts by scanning their their contents and selling that data to third parties? No wonder the Yahoo hacks and very late disclosure didn't derail the deal. These two basement brands deserve each other.
