Well, at least they registered Altaba.com. No IP address as of now, though it looks like their mail is handled by Google Apps!

- pyromine 10y agoInterstingly this could make sense, because they're selling off all of the Yahoo! assets there is no reason there is no incentive to use Yahoo! mail and in fact they lose the rights to those assets once the sale is completed. Altaba will still be holding all of the other assets not sold to verizon so this is likely the best way to move forward for whoever is left working for this not quite dead entity once the sale is complete.
