Yahoo warns users against state-sponsored hackings as it suffers yet another breach

It seems Yahoo has landed itself in trouble again. The company has reportedly been sending out emails to warn users that state-sponsored attackers might have breached their accounts.

The hackers purportedly relied on a sophisticated cookie forging exploit that could be executed without the need to acquire user passwords, ZDNet reports.

The announcement follows a series of high-profile breaches Yahoo reported last year. Last September the Sunnyvale giant revealed it had suffered a massive attack affecting more than half a million users; then three months later, it came forward with another major breach putting over a billion users at risk.
