She may be smiling in this photo, but, trust me, Marissa Mayer is not a happy person right now. The CEO of Yahoo is under tremendous pressure by two Senate Committee Chairmen to answer why over one billion Yahoo accounts were hacked and customer’s private data was exposed and stolen. Not only that, they want to know why the public and Yahoo stockholders were never informed of the breach.
They also kept the news away from potential buyers of the company, like Verizon. This is a betrayal of public trust, and I believe, a violation of corporate laws by a publicly held corporation. The breaches occurred in 2013 and 2014. Yahoo “abruptly” canceled a meeting late last month with Senate staff, and did not reschedule. You can read all about it in our first story.
Lots more good information here and some great tips so keep on reading! -JRC
