The Internet group Yahoo said Tuesday in a statement that the electronic attack in 2013, which is the largest of its kind in history, the accounts of all users and the number of about three billion accounts and not a billion accounts only as previously announced.
Yahoo, which was recently bought by US communications giant Verizon, said Yahoo was sending e-mails to the rest of the affected user accounts.
The real size of the cyber attack was made possible by investigations by independent experts after Verizon acquired Yahoo, which became known as Out, the statement said.
The group reassured that hackers did not steal passwords, bank statements or information related to payment methods adopted by account holders who had penetrated.
"The company continues to cooperate closely with the security forces ... and will take all necessary measures" to safeguard the security of users.
On December 14, 2016, Yahoo announced that it had been hit by a massive piracy operation in August 2013 involving a billion accounts.
