A hacker group has posted online the details of 450,000 user accounts and passwords it claims to have stolen from a Yahoo server.
The passwords could pose a severe security risk to Yahoo users if they use the same password and email combination across other sites.
The information was posted by a previously unknown hacker group.
A Yahoo spokesperson declined to comment.
The hackers' website where the original claim was made, d33ds.co, was not available later on Thursday.
