Yahoo reported a security breach in some email accounts this morning. Yahoo did not release the number of accounts affected. |

According to Yahoo, the accounts that were affected have had their password reset as a safety precaution.
It's interesting to read between the lines in Yahoo's message because it appears the users who were affected used their Yahoo email on a third party website and used the same password for both that site and Yahoo. Very bad security by those users.
