To refresh your memory, a sextortion scam is an email that claims that someone has installed malware onto a porn site that you have visited and with some unknown “software magic,” they have video evidence of your “private” moments. But don’t be fooled. It’s just another good old blackmail/online extortion scheme that tries to scare you into ponying up your hard-earned cash to these cyberscammers. It’s still going strong so it probably is profitable, and many people are actually getting duped....

The app, once was a relic of the past, has been updated for the present to version 2.0, though curiously it’s not sporting a Material Design-type makeover of any kind. The update includes features like a new layout that implements the stard card-based interface, the ability to swipe between categories. Everything is linked to your account, as is the stard with ’s native apps. Most stock Android devices have the app already installed, so you’ll see the rollout hit your phone or tablet over the next day or two....

What happened here is that the attackers had access to software linked to Yahoo’s security systems and, based on it, generated cookies that tell the service that a user has already logged in. In this way, the accounts could be accessed without using passwords. Yahoo has been doing its best to maintain discretion on the issue....
