“A group of Democratic U.S. senators on Tuesday demanded Yahoo Inc (YHOO.O) to explain why hackers’ theft of user information for half a billion accounts two years ago only came to light last week and lambasted its handling of the breach as “unacceptable,” reports Dustin Volz from Washington in Reuters. The lawmakers said they were ‘disturbed’ the 2014 intrusion, disclosed by the company on Thursday, was detected so long after the hack occurred. “This is unacceptable.” The senators have asked Yahoo Chief Executive Officer Marissa Mayer for a timeline of the hack, its discovery and how such a large breach went undetected for so long.
