Factual Questions
1

Ok a friend asked me on IM about a message she got that someone informed/warned/threatened him about a major hack on yahoo groups and mails that shall be comming on august the 1st :rolleyes: yeah right I thought.

But for completeness sake, is there an already known debunk or more infos? Snopes had none.

Thanks in advance people.
