Almost 71 million unique accounting data for entrance to sites such as Facebook, Roblox, and Ebay were detected on the network, as reported in an article on Troy Hunt’s blog. In April of the same year, the site was renamed “Yahoo!”.
There are two versions of the origin of the name “Yahoo!”. The first theory suggests that the word was taken from J. Swift’s book “Gulliver’s Travel,” where it refers to a race of rude and unpleasant humanoid creatures. The second theory states that “Yahoo!” is an acronym derived from the phrase “Another Hierarchically Organized Oracle.”
