Plenty of users sticking with Yahoo despite data breaches – San Francisco Chronicle (Jan 2, 2017)

As per a previous piece I linked to, despite all the attention the various Yahoo breaches have received in the press, they’ll likely have little impact on usage, which makes it likely Verizon will go ahead with the acquisition, though it may use the breaches as leverage to lower the price. The key point is that users have short memories, and the very people still using Yahoo (largely out of apathy in a world with better alternatives) are least likely to jump ship, which obviously helps.
