|
|
Yahoo View, meanwhile, will only be about TV. Hulu's content on Yahoo View will include ads, and the two companies do have a standard revenue-sharing deal related to that.

But if you take away Alibaba and Yahoo Japan, Yahoo's core assets - its email and search functions, Yahoo finance, the Tumblr social media site and others - aren't worth that much.
|
|
In 2008, Microsoft tried to buy Yahoo in what would have been one of the biggest technology deals ever, but Yahoo fought the effort and Microsoft ultimately withdrew the proposal.

|
|

|
|

|
|
Four years later, Yahoo still doesn't know how 3 billion accounts were hacked Yahoo estimates that three billion accounts were impacted by a series of breaches that began in 2013.
|
|
Yahoo in December abandoned plans to spin off the Alibaba stake and announced it would instead spinoff its other assets, including its stake in Yahoo Japan, into a new company.
|
|
If Yahoo gets bought, all her future pay in Yahoo shares comes due immediately — providing her with tens of millions of dollars to ease her transition out of the company.
|
|
The full deal goes into effect in the 2018-19 season, but some NFL postseason games will hit Yahoo, Yahoo Sports, go90 and the NFL Mobile app in January, 2018.
|
|
While investors wait to see how that plays out, they are valuing Yahoo at less than the price of the Alibaba stake and the cash Yahoo has in the bank.
|
|
Mayer was expected to leave Yahoo after Verizon finalized the deal and Yahoo ceased to be an independent company, but it wasn't clear if she'd land with new owner Verizon.
|
|
Verizon said in July that it struck a deal to buy Yahoo Inc's core internet properties, but the deal was cast into doubt after Yahoo disclosed data breaches last year.
|
|
Reuters was unable to determine what data Yahoo may have handed over, if any, and if intelligence officials had approached other email providers besides Yahoo with this kind of request.
|
|
There was a team of surfing Yahoos that would be responsible for taking the submissions that folks were making to Yahoo to be in the Yahoo directory and categorize them.
|
|
The deal: Starboard will add four directors, including Starboard CEO Jeff Smith, to the Yahoo board; in return, it is withdrawing its plan to replace the entire existing Yahoo board.
|
|
Bell was reportedly one of the Yahoo executives, along with CEO Marissa Mayer, who approved the installation of software in spring 193 that scanned Yahoo email accounts for specific data.
|
|
Ironically, what ultimately forced the hand of Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer wasn't the dismal performance of Yahoo's online properties so much as an investment by Yahoo that worked too well.
|
|
You know, one smart move kind of can make up for a lot of dumb ones, and that was the home run of home runs for Yahoo and Yahoo shareholders.
|
|
If you want to get your Yahoo Groups data before it is deleted, Yahoo says that you now have until 11:159PM PST on January 31st, 2020, to request it.
|
|
But the indifference towards protecting the personal data of Yahoo users didn't stop at Mayer:Jeff Bonforte, the Yahoo senior vice president who oversees its email and messaging services, said in an interview last December that Mr. Stamos and his team had pressed for Yahoo to adopt end-to-end encryption for everything.
|
|
That might not seem so bad if you compare it to the current biggest (known) data breaches — affecting at least 23.425M Yahoo accounts, and more than 723BN Yahoo accounts — which took place years before the company disclosed the intrusions to the public, although it's not clear when exactly Yahoo itself discovered the breaches.
|
|
Yahoo is advising users to change their passwords and security questions and answers for any other accounts in which they used the same or similar information as with their Yahoo account.
|
|
Yahoo — Yahoo remains on our watch list, with increasing speculation that Verizon may demand changes or cancel its deal to buy Yahoo's internet assets following the revelation of another data breach.
|
|
For example, earlier this week, Yahoo was found to be exiting a prior deal with AT&T, which had allowed customers with AT&T email addresses to log into Yahoo websites.
|
|
Coming up with a solution to the Yahoo Japan stake is key in achieving the ultimate goal of spurring Alibaba into action to buy back its shares from Yahoo, analysts said.
|
|
Even though they would likely buy back these shares at a discount, Yahoo investors would benefit, according to Eric Jackson, managing director at SpringOwl Asset Management LLC, which owns Yahoo shares.
|
|
Analysts and investors have speculated that putting AOL and Yahoo together, a combination dreamed of for some time, could yield advertising efficiencies that could compel Verizon to pay up for Yahoo.
|
|
Mercari, however, has had practice differentiating itself in Japan, where it came in as a rival to Yahoo Japan's Yahoo Auctions, which—like Mercari—also focuses on consumer-to-consumer transactions.
|
|
Because Yahoo is now part of Oath, the costs will be split 50-50 between Oath and Altaba, the holding company that owns what is left of Yahoo following the acquisition.
|
|
That's strange enough math when considering only the resale value of Alibaba and Yahoo Japan, but what about all the other companies that have been absorbed by Yahoo over the years?
|
|
AOL president and former Yahoo executive Tim Mahlman will head up the advertising technology, while Yahoo engineering pro Atte Lahtiranta will lead tech, and Verizon's Ralf Jacob will helm digital media.
|
|
At the end of last year Yahoo announced a bizarre plan to spin Yahoo off from itself, creating a new company made up of Yahoo's web business, and leaving behind Alibaba.
|
|
The letter reviewed by the WSJ said Yahoo management failed to deliver on earlier reform promises and that the board was unfit to decide whether Yahoo should remain an independent company.
|
|
Yahoo — Yahoo will face an increasing battle with activist investor Starboard Value, according to Reuters, which said Starboard will push for control of the board in talks scheduled for this week.

|
|
SAN FRANCISCO — Yahoo has agreed to sell the bulk of what people know as Yahoo — its mail services, its news sites, the Tumblr social network — to Verizon for nearly $5 billion.
|
|
It looks like Verizon, which announced plans to buy Yahoo for $4.8 billion in July, is doing some saber-rattling about that gigantic hack that Yahoo disclosed a few weeks back.
|
|
Props to Yahoo for seeing the value in Google — Yahoo leadership was right after all, about Google becoming a big thing — but Page and Brin weren't in the mood to sell.
|
|
It turns out Yahoo — now a division of Oath!

" In a statement Wednesday, Yahoo called the report "misleading.

SAN FRANCISCO — Yahoo has a dual personality these days.
|
|
Among the revelations: five Yahoo execs could cash out with a combined $0003 million in golden parachutes should they lose their jobs; Yahoo would have to pay a $145 million termination fee to Verizon were it to back out of the sale; and a total of 51 potential suitors discussed buying Yahoo at one point or another, among them Yahoo Japan, of which the U.S. arm owns just more than a third (Japanese telecom SoftBank owns the rest).
|
|
Levy's excerpt also features a few other interesting tidbits, including one about the Silicon Valley legend around Zuckerberg's choice to decline a $1 billion acquisition offer from Yahoo — apparently, Zuckerberg had actually verbally accepted the offer, but a negotiation choice by Yahoo let Zuckerberg end the acquisition talks with Yahoo: He did verbally accept the offer, but then Yahoo CEO Terry Semel made a tactical error, asking to renegotiate terms because his company's stock had taken a downturn.
|
|
"Yahoo has fallen down on security in so many ways I have to recommend that if you have an active Yahoo email account, either direct with Yahoo of via a partner like AT&T, get rid of it," Stu Sjouwerman, chief executive of cyber security firm KnowBe4 Inc, said in a broadly distributed email.
|
|
Yahoo is in the process of selling itself to Verizon, which last month successfully shaved $350 million off its roughly $5 billion Yahoo purchase price because of costs related to the hacks.

|
|
When the Verizon/Yahoo transaction is finalized, the remaining Altbaba company — what's left out of the $4.48 billion all-cash deal — will hold significant stakes in Chinese retailer Alibaba and Yahoo Japan.
|
|
Yahoo board member Tom McInerney, who is chairman of its strategic review committee, said on a conference call with analysts that the company views the stakes in Yahoo Japan and Alibaba differently.
|
|
A cash-rich split would come with challenges, as Yahoo Japan would need to trade some operating asset that it does not want with Yahoo as part of the deal, Willens said.
|
|
The winner of the Yahoo bidding process at least in the short term is going to be Yahoo and maybe a few of its short-term shareholders who timed their purchases right.
|
|
Joseph Cox, a reporter with the technology news site Motherboard, said he emailed Yahoo on July 30 to ask if the company was aware that Peace was attempting to sell Yahoo data.
|
|
"Over the course of our more than 20-year history, Yahoo has focused on and invested in security programs and talent to protect our users," Yahoo said in a statement to Reuters.
|
|
Additionally, since Yahoo appears to prioritize the community-driven question-and-answer website Yahoo Answers in its search results, the top result for an offensive search can come from an untrustworthy source.
|
|
Yahoo has in effect admitted that it will never now know whether a login attempt comes from the verified user or not: if you send a password reset request to a Yahoo.
|
|
Cahan was also embroiled in some politicking and abortive launches as the structures at Yahoo became more malleable, at one point overseeing the development of a doomed relaunch of Yahoo Instant Messenger.
|
|
The Yahoo login system, however, was a lot more tedious than it needed to be, especially if you did not use Yahoo Mail or its other services and constantly forgot your password.
|
|
If Verizon determines that the damage done to Yahoo by this breach (and how the company has handled it) means it overpaid for Yahoo, it could consider backing out of the deal.
|
|
How those stakes, in China's Alibaba Group and Yahoo Japan, are distributed will also be a big question, as well as what Yahoo will do with its patent and real estate portfolios.
|
|
Yahoo — The Wall Street Journal reports activist investor Starboard Value is now seeking to remove the entire Yahoo board, and that it will announce this morning its intention to nominate nine directors.
|
|
Verizon, which recently acquired most of Yahoo, revealed last month the 2013 breach affected all 3 billion Yahoo user accounts, not just 1 billion as was originally disclosed in December last year.
|
|
Yahoo is currently spinning off its core internet business as a way to better position its valuable stake in e-commerce site Alibaba, meaning Yahoo can entertain offers from Verizon and others.
|
|
At the same time, Yahoo announced a new streaming service, "Yahoo View," which "features" Hulu, and will let viewers see the five most recent episodes of the big broadcast shows for free.
|
|
Yahoo also acknowledged that Tumblr — its biggest acquisition under its current chief executive, Marissa Mayer — was now worth only one-third of the $1.1 billion that Yahoo paid for it in 2013.
|
|
After the sale, Yahoo shareholders will be left with about $22014 billion in investments in the Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba, as well as Yahoo Japan and a small portfolio of patents.
|
|
Reuters reported late Tuesday that Yahoo complied with a government order to effectively build a backdoor into its Yahoo Mail service, giving authorities the ability to spy on users in real time.
|
|
There's a lot of tales in Yahoo to ... I admire the way that Facebook was so aggressive in going after Instagram and Whatsapp because that was sort of the anti-Yahoo move.
|
|
It sold to Yahoo for $1.1 billion in 2013, then withered as Yahoo sold itself to AOL, AOL sold itself to Verizon, and Verizon realized it was a phone company after all.
|
|
Web industry researcher ComScore shows that Yahoo Mail U.S. mobile use doubled to 36.5 million users per month over the three years to March, even as Yahoo mail desktop use nearly halved.

Verizon and Yahoo signed the deal on Sunday evening after weeks of talks that included calls with Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer and a meeting between Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam and Yahoo director Tom McInerney in New York earlier this month to agree on the amount of the price reduction, a person involved in the talks said.
|
|
Yahoo says 20143 billion users were compromised in yet another data breach Yahoo says 22014 billion users were compromised in yet another data breach Less than three months after Yahoo disclosed it had suffered a devastating hack in 24.8 that exposed the information of 21 million users, the company on Thursday admitted yet another, far larger breach.
|
|
But at a moment when Google and Facebook, either of which Yahoo might once have been able to buy, are roaring ahead, there is still no clear sense of what Yahoo should be.
|
|
Since disclosing the hack, Yahoo continued to add more numbers of accounts compromised, but today's announcement makes it clear that if you had a Yahoo email account, you were part of the breach.
|
|
After the Verizon deal, Yahoo will be renamed Altaba, a holding company whose primary assets will be its stake in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd and a 35.5 percent stake in Yahoo Japan Corp.
|
|
There is a possible glitch due to recent revelations about a data breach at Yahoo; because of the breach, Verizon and Yahoo are discussing potential liabilities that may impact terms of the deal.
|
|
And again, the technology that we built for our own Site22 brand had a bigger impact when we put it on the homepage of Yahoo and we ran Yahoo travel deals and things.
|
|
And given that Yahoo Mail is already available in 46 languages and 70 markets, it's probably overdue that Yahoo has decided to revamp some features specifically for a large part of those markets.
|
|
Once the company's core internet business is sold, Yahoo (Altaba) will effectively become an investment company, with significant stakes in Alibaba Group and Yahoo Japan, along with some intellectual property and other assets.
|
|
That is because an acquisition by Alibaba of Yahoo owning just the Alibaba stake could be structured as an asset swap, whereby Yahoo shareholders would be paid in Alibaba stock rather than cash.
|
|
For years, Firefox used Yahoo as a default, though it also offered Google and Bing as alternative selections, but it recently terminated its contract with Yahoo, according to an email statement from Mozilla.
|
|
"I suppose a hacker could make the connection between my Yahoo and Gmail," said Scott Braun, 47, who created a Yahoo email when he was setting up a shop on online retailer Etsy.
|

|
|
With that in mind, video content from Yahoo as well as our partners has been transitioned from Yahoo Screen to our Digital Magazine properties so users can discover complementary content in one place.
|
|
It sounds like a joke: That Yahoo would create an app in 2016 — amid an ever accelerating tailspin toward irrelevancy — that essentially amounts to a repackaged version of Yahoo Answers is certainly laughable.
|
|
Yahoo faces increasing pressure from shareholders and investors to sell its core business instead of going through a spinoff that would separate the company from its stakes in Yahoo Japan and Alibaba Group.
|
|
Instead, Wall Street has been pressuring Yahoo to sell the actual company — the business that operates the Yahoo website and services like Flickr and Tumblr, but not the shares — to a third party.
|
|
Verizon and Yahoo are closing in on their $4.4 billion merger deal, which was first in July and has been delayed as Yahoo assesses the fallout from two data breaches disclosed last year.
|
|
The internet portal has one billion monthly active users, who use Yahoo mail and Yahoo groups and get their news through the site — meaning it remains the gateway to many people's digital identities.
|
|
After the deal is complete, Yahoo will be a shell of its former self, existing mainly as a holding company for its Alibaba and Yahoo Japan investments, as well as its patent portfolio.
|
|
By October, Yahoo clarified the extent of previously reported hacks, and consumers learned that 3 billion users had been affected by its data breach — that's every single Yahoo user that existed in 2013.
|
|
Yahoo Japan, the Yahoo affiliate which is one of Japan's most influential tech companies, provided 490 million JPY ($4.4 million) with SoftBank itself ponying up the remaining capital to retain a majority share.

Yahoo Japan plans to link SB Drive with its popular Yahoo Maps service, and use related data — such as weather, vehicle congestion, foot traffic, and events — to help with bus planning and deployment.
|
|
Yahoo released its semiannual transparency report today, the first issued by the company since Reuters revealed earlier this month that Yahoo scanned its users' email accounts at the behest of the U.S. government.

|
The difference between trying to do that in 2004 versus in 2000 ... Well, Yahoo beat them to it, and they helped Yahoo get to where they were, by being on the Netscape browser.

He hasn't been perfect, he's made mistakes, but now he's basically taken over Yahoo, when a couple of years ago people, including me, would chuckle at this notion of AOL and Yahoo merging.

|
Forget, for a moment, the story about how Gilbert reportedly tried to get a Yahoo writer fired for writing something he didn't like after Yahoo and Quicken had struck a big business deal.
|
|
Yahoo did not ask the users to change their passwords but urged them to use account key, an optional feature that uses a smartphone to validate all attempted logins on a Yahoo account.
|
|
Why Verizon is introducing a new search engine brand when it already owns Yahoo is not clear, but as VentureBeat notes, Yahoo owned the "oneSearch" name long before it became part of Verizon.
|
|
So much so that Yahoo was willing to pay up to $3 billion for it, a then-unconscionable amount of money for a startup with what Yahoo CEO Terry Semel considered lackluster revenue.
|
|
Yahoo Japan, formed in 1996 as a joint venture with Yahoo, offers a range of services including online shopping and news but has struggled to make the move from desktops to mobile phones.
|

And whoever buys Yahoo has to also deal with SoftBank and its desire to get out of large annual payments it makes to the company, which owns a big stake in Yahoo Japan.
