You can't honestly advice people to shift base based on the attack as no site is immune to attack, Gmail isn't so one has to be more cautious with online activities.

Op what makes Gmail immune to attack?

You mean to tell me that they have hacked this password too??

nothing is truly safe on the internet. what if people have sex tapes in their draft box. abeg na Seun own I wan see

grin grin grin

That password means nothing if it is stored in cleartext as against ciphertext. Once the password vault is compromised, every credential is revealed. The only way to avoid being breached is not to connect to the internet.

I think your next post should be how to close a yahoo account. Thank God I have started changing email addresses of important sites to Gmail even before the hack. I'm closing my yahoo account soon. No amount of advertising would bring me back

Is this true? Somebody pls confirm

Yes, mine inclusive. But further security measure has been take (2-step verification), eg. sending you code via sms or calling your number and telling you the code with which to pass the login section. That way, no one without your phone can log in. Login and activate your 2-step verification and add your number(s) to remain safe...at least, as long as it lasts.However, Gmail is the lead.

Personally I have discarded Yahoo since the days when one will need to fight World War III with CAPTCHAs before you can sign in to your account
It's terrible those days. I did as you have done.

YAhoomAI REMAINS your best bet when it comes to email online. Their brand stands out amongst list out there. You can even access it using Samsung TV. I say it in this link below https://www.techxplora.com/samsung-tv/

To carry out a yahoomail registration you must have to visit the yahoomail homepage at www.yahoomail.com this email program is assumed to be the best as it will protect your information very well.
