Report: Yahoo sold out it's users to state sponsored hackers.

One of the biggest fantasy hockey platforms on the web has screwed over it's entire user base.

According to a report from Reuters Yahoo has violated the privacy of every single user who uses their service, and it's not just spying on things you have archived, they implemented an unprecedented system that allowed it's users to be spied on in real time.

From Reuters:

The company complied with a classified U.S. government demand, scanning hundreds of millions of Yahoo Mail accounts at the behest of the National Security Agency or FBI, said three former employees and a fourth person apprised of the events.

Some surveillance experts said this represents the first case to surface of a U.S. Internet company agreeing to an intelligence agency's request by searching all arriving messages, as opposed to examining stored messages or scanning a small number of accounts in real time.

While not truly a hockey story, considering how many users use Yahoo as a result of it's fantasy hockey platform we felt it was worth bringingf to the attention of our readers.
