Some of the user accounts of Telecom's YahooXtra have been reportedly compromised, following a security breach, which is apparently affecting non-Telecom customers as well.
Telecom said that Yahoo had acknowledged an email security breach that compromised some YahooXtra email accounts.
According to stuff.co.nz, spokeswoman Lucy Fullarton said that Yahoo was investigating the breach and it was unclear if the hackers were able to read the content of the emails.
It is said that hackers had tried sending out spam emails from the compromised accounts, but Yahoo had prevented that and starting blocking the compromised accounts, requiring customers to then reset their passwords.
