Data Protection 2016: 500 Million Yahoo Users Victims of Massive Data Breach
Yahoo has announced that the personal data of at least 500 million users was breached in late 2014. The breach included users’ names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, passwords and security questions and answers. For many years, EPIC has urged the Administration and Congress to promote Privacy Enhancing Techniques that minimize or eliminate the collection of personally identifiable information. This year EPIC launched “Data Protection 2016,” a non-partisan campaign to make data protection an issue in the 2016 election, calling it “the most important, least well understood issue” of this election.
