There is information about the Yahoo data breach on the Internet, including the
$117 million class action case on behalf of 194 million class members:

I don't know if there is enough information available in the public domain to 
determine
to what extent free/oss software might have contributed to that data breach. I 
do remember
Yahoo admitted the number of affected accounts was around 500 million.

Best regards,

Chuck
