Former Yahoo CEO Blames 'Russian Agents' for Massive Breaches

Former Yahoo Chief Executive Marissa Mayer apologized for two massive data breaches at the internet company, blaming Russian agents for at least one of them, at a hearing on the growing number of cyber attacks on major U.S. companies. “Unfortunately, while all our measures helped Yahoo successfully defend against the barrage of attacks by both private and state-sponsored hackers, Russian agents intruded on our systems and stole our users’ data,” she said.
