Got a Yahoo account? Then you’ve been breached

Remember that 2013 Yahoo breach that supposedly affected one billion accounts? Well, it got worse. Yahoo just announced that all its three billion user accounts have been affected by the hack. This hack exposed things like name, email address, hashed passwords, birthdays, phone numbers, and in some cases, “encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers.” What the hackers weren’t able to obtain were the passwords in clear text as well as bank or credit card information linked to Yahoo accounts.

Report hints at release dates for the new Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL

Leaked render of the Google Pixel 2 XL

The Google event, which is where we’re expecting to see the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, is almost upon us. But information about the new devices are still cropping up online. This time, the latest leak from Evan Blass (@evleaks) hints at the release date for the two devices. The Pixel 2 will supposedly be arriving this month on October 19^th, to be specific, while the Pixel 2 XL will be coming next month on November 15^th. According to Blass’s story on VentureBeat, there could also be a pre-order period for both devices ahead of the release but it wasn’t stated when that would be. With the Pixel 2 supposedly coming out a couple of weeks after this event, we won’t be surprised if that happens immediately.

When it comes to price, the Droid Life reported a few weeks ago that the Pixel 2 will reportedly retain last year’s prices at US$649 for the 64GB version and US$749 for the 128GB. And the Pixel 2 XL gets a price bump from US$769 for the 32GB to US$849 for the 64GB model and from last year’s US$869 for the 128GB model to US$949 for the same storage size.
