I just reviewed all my various financial accounts to ensure that I wasn't inadvertently using a Yahoo password. Found a couple, they are changed now.

Since Yahoo! doesn't appear to be actively forthcoming about the compromise, I appreciate the heads up. The fact that it took two years to discover it suggests the inmates are running the asylum.

I'm not all that enthralled with their two-step verification as it makes some flawed assumptions about ready phone access.
