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.
