Been on Flickr for a few years?
Discussion
- I wonder if I can get the hackers to email it to me 
I forgot the password to my first flickr account, then when I tried to retrieve it they wouldn't send it, said it had been so long since I signed in that they're in the process of deactivating the account. I always had trouble putting flickr stuff into forum posts, but I've opened a new account recently because Photobucket has been so bad.
Well the hackers have your first name, last name, date of birth, plus email address, and with 2 factor authentication they will now have your phone number, so pretty good information for identity fraud.
Why Yahoo didn't just force a global password change on all their users when they were first made aware of this massive hack is beyond me, they obviously 'want' a multi-million dollar class action lawsuit launched against them? and I doubt very much that their tiny terms and conditions will stand up against statutory legislation in many countries.
This lax attitude to security of millions of Yahoo users information across the USA and UK and many other countries worldwide is pretty damn poor, and it must be remembered that this isn't the first time that a security breach has occurred.

I've just revisited Flickr for the first time in quite a while and was met with a feeling of nostalgia for the Flickr that once was, pre-Yahoo, and before people began to 'game' Explore.
A real shame. There were many talented photographers and some really beautiful photography on there:

It is actually sad to think about how much its declined as a pleasurable user experience since a few years ago. Remember when you'd log in and it would show you how many photos were uploaded that second, and you'd see thousands of new uploads by completely unknown members? I miss those days. It's rubbish only seeing photos from contacts or by going into groups.
It actually grates me, but what better option is there? Nothing is the same as what flickr used to be.
