The latest numbers from the Yahoo data breach in 2013, have now made it the largest data breach by a long shot so far.

Recently, hacks have become larger and more frequent. Partially because more cloud storage is available, so the information stolen is on a greater scale.

So far this year, hacks have made up over half of the reported data breaches. This is more than any year in over the past decade.

It is difficult to put a final number on exactly how many are affected especially early on. The three billion accounts now affected, means that all users may have been victims.

How do I protect myself if the yahoo data breach could affect me?

For this and many other reasons, finding a way to help protect yourself from future attacks is important. Hiring a leader in ID theft protection, LifeLock, is a great way to do just that.
