it onto WikiLeaks.

out.
This group might also be the ones who interfered with the 2016 US Presidential election but
those claims have not been comfirmed although President Donald Trump believes that the election
was tampered with.
And the people behind it would be Russian intelligence but he won the election so he
doesnít really talk about it anymore.

He was able to gain customers information.
Some of this information was used for blackmail.
Back during this time Yahoo was a multibillion dollar web company who was at the top of the
