500 Million Yahoo Accounts Hacked

RE: 500 Million Yahoo Accounts Hacked
If someone hacked my yahoo account all they'd find is my fantasy football team. Maybe they'd do a better job than me of running it. Why did I take Jonathan Stewart again?

I was locked out of my yahoo account in 2014. I just ditched it and switched to gmail.
This may explain why that happened, at least.

Same here.

Speaking from experience, it's generally not worth the trouble. If you're on a VPS or dedicated server, your IP is probably in a lot of blacklists from prior owners of that IP or in your block.

I stopped self-hosting email probably 10 years ago.

Yeah, the thought had occurred to me and I never bothered to look into it any further. I've migrated over to a new email service and couldn't be happier.
