If you're being targeted by government hackers, then Yahoo has got your back. Yahoo has announced in a blog post that it will warn users if it thinks their accounts are being attacked by state-sponsored hackers.

We’re committed to protecting the security and safety of our users, and we strive to detect and prevent unauthorized access to user accounts by third parties. As part of this effort, Yahoo will now notify you if we strongly suspect that your account may have been targeted by a state-sponsored actor. We’ll provide these specific notifications so that our users can take appropriate measures to protect their accounts and devices in light of these sophisticated attacks.

Our notifications provide targeted users with specific actions they can take to help ensure that their Yahoo accounts are safe and secure.
