Former Yahoo Chief Executive Marissa Mayer apologized for the data breach that affected all of Yahoo’s 3 billion accounts in 2013.
Mayer blamed the breach on Russian agents who compromised Yahoo’s network and stole users’ data.
Verizon, the largest U.S. wireless operator, acquired most of Yahoo’s assets in June, the same month Mayer stepped down. Verizon disclosed last month that a 2013 Yahoo data breach affected all 3 billion of its accounts, compared with an estimate of more than 1 billion disclosed in December.
