If your Yahoo account was hacked earlier today, there’s a chance that your Gmail, Hotmail, Verizon, and other accounts are vulnerable as well.
The New York Times is reporting that among the over 400,000 Yahoo usernames and passwords that were exposed this morning were a number of login credentials for Gmail, Hotmail, Comcast, MSN, Verizon, AOL, SBC Global and Live.com accounts. Security Firm Rapid7 found that the dump contained over 106,000 Gmail account credentials, specifically.
T-Mobile USA and MetroPCS Communications Inc. are pushing the Federal Communications Commission to block Verizon Wireless’s plan to buy wireless airwaves from a group of cable companies for $3.9 billion.
T-Mobile—which just months ago was pushing antitrust authorities to approve its failed deal to sell itself to AT&T Inc.—argued in an FCC filing that Verizon Wireless’s deal poses “a clear threat to competition” and would allow the nation’s largest cellphone carrier “to accumulate even more spectrum on top of an already dominant position, while checkmating crucial avenues for growth of its smaller competitors.”
