LONDON: Yahoo's decision to scan clients' e-mail accounts at the behest of the US authorities has prompted questions in Europe as to whether EU citizens' data had been compromised, and could help derail a new trans-Atlantic data sharing deal.
Reuters reported on Oct 4 that Yahoo complied with a classified US government demand to search customers' incoming e-mails for specific information provided by US intelligence officials.
