Thank you for your article. I don't use Yahoo mail, but I do use YahooGroups. How does this affect it? I'm assuming the same, but is there a way to determine if it was part of the vulnerability or to assess if there was unauthorized access as with the Yahoo mail?

In your article, you state at the beginning "today (April 9), Yahoo confirmed to reporters that it had upgraded its OpenSSL to a safe version and fixed the flaw on most of its servers." Can you please site your source for this? I can't find confirmation of this, most reports on the internet still list Yahoo! as vulnerable...

A Yahoo representative emailed Tom's Guide to say that the company's servers had mostly been patched. As far as we can tell, Yahoo has released no public statement to that effect, nor advised its users to update their passwords. But we think all Yahoo users should update their passwords immediately, and also change those passwords if they were used for any other site or service.
