Verizon Regrets Yahoo Acquisition
Yahoo has had a hard time since they confirmed the 2014 hack and have been rumored to have built a software to help the U.S. government spy on users. Earlier this year, Yahoo was bought by Verizon for $4.8 billion. Since the acquisition, Verizon has been quiet about the controversies surrounding Yahoo, until now. Verizon’s contract with Yahoo states they cannot walk away from the deal unless “they can prove that a sufficiently adverse event has occurred.” Craig Silliman, on the Verizon general counsel, met with reporters to discuss that the 2014 hack may be enough to relinquish themselves from the deal.
