Yahoo advises to use Yahoo Account Key, the in-house authentication tool.

4. Don't trust emails asking for more information

Yahoo advises users to be cautious "of any unsolicited communications that ask for your personal information or refer you to a web page asking for personal information."

Similarly, users should avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from suspicious emails or unknown email addresses.

Yahoo also encourages users to review the online banking accounts for suspicious activity.

"Be cautious of any unsolicited communications that ask for your personal information or refer you to a web page asking for personal information," it said.

Hackers who have gained private information might try to open a credit card in your name.
