Nicole Perlroth, the technology reporter for the New York Times writes about Yahoo breach, which has extended beyond Yahoo to Gmail, Hotmail, AOL, and other users. She draws the reader's attention in her introduction by announcing the tremendous number of Yahoo and other companies' accounts that have been stolen by the hackers. The writer goes on by informing the reader about a group of hackers called D33D, which posted usernames and passwords of 453,492 accounts belonging to Yahoo and other companies. This group has left a note, telling the companies that it was not a threat, but just a wake-up call. The rest of the article is about the predictions that some researches have made, and one of them is that the breach might have come through the LinkedIn, the online network for profissionals. Many experts have change the system or have reset the passwords to solve the problem, but they noted that the hackers could still be in the new systems. Then Perlroth ends the article with quotes of the vice president at Voltage Security, which is blaming Yahoo and other companies for what has happened.
The purpose of the writer is not only to inform about the problem that the Yahoo and other companies were having, but also to warn them since they probably own one of the companies' account. The evidence of it is shown when she talks about the experts who are not sure if the hackers are completely out of the system and their recommendations to the owners to have different passwords in different sites.
-other companies'
ReplyDelete-* just companies
-overall written well and the topic is very interesting. I had no idea! Scary!
-The second paragraph should ideally be the focus of your post, which also means that it should be the longer of the two paragraphs. From now on, focus less on summarizing the article and more on the devices/purpose/langauge the author uses. (:
They understand the problem of the users and get the importance of it then they help the users with their best knowledge. They also understand the importance of Yahoo mail because many of their customers use this for their business purpose, and the customers require this Yahoo email to receive and send their email.
