Yahoo: the hacking could save $ 1 billion to Verizon

Yahoo: the hacking could save $ 1 billion to Verizon

The telecom operator Verizon, which was to buy Yahoo for $ 4.8 billion, now require a discount of one billion dollars to reflect the drop in company value.
Expected. The revelation of the biggest data breach in history full redemption process, and early spy scandal, it would not play for Yahoo. Verizon its purchaser, the telecom operator number one in the US, now seek to obtain repayment of a billion dollars over its original offer of 4.8 billion, the New York Post.

"Everything will depend on what Yahoo confessed before signing," said a lawyer specializing in mergers and acquisitions on the site TechCrunch. It also depends on the sincerity or not, Marissa Mayer, who claims to have discovered the piracy along the press, that is to say, this summer. But in any case, there is a fault or problem of concealment. In addition, the company has two months to alert users of the need to change their password.

Still difficult to trust Yahoo. Therefore denial - not very clear -from the company this week, following charges of collusion with the NSA and the FBI to spy on messages of its users, ring true for public ears and will not help business Yahoo in its negotiations with Verizon. Once again, the company was accused of lack of transparency by not disclosing the requests of intelligence agencies in its biennial report on transparency.
