The article says it has already notified the people that have had their accounts hacked, using a verified two step reset on the password....

How do you know the hackers aren't the 'people' sending the reset password email?

No reset was sent to me.  I dont take chances. I changed all my passwords for yahoo and so did my family.

I got the notice but change my passwords regularly. Then I have to remember what passwords go where. Sigh, it's a never ending battle.
